Man charged after Albion fan death comments
West Brom supporter Mark Townsend died from a medical episode on Saturday, at the Leppings Lane end of Hillsborough Stadium, where Liverpool fans died as a result of a crush in 1989.
A social media account, which has since been deleted, was alleged to have made reference to the 97 victims of the disaster.
Richard Crisp, 55, from Hillsborough, was charged with sending a communication or article of an indecent or offensive nature, South Yorkshire Police said.
He was released on bail ahead of an appearance at Sheffield Magistrates' Court on 14 October, the force added.
