- Patrice Evra has beaten Liverpool fans over Luis Suarez’s 2011 racism case
- Suarez was fined eight games and banned for using the word “Negrito” on Evra
- Evra slammed Red’s supporters for “lack of class and respect” since the fall
- The ex-Manchester United defender also shared a letter of apology from Liverpool
Patrice Evra has been putting Liverpool fans under the microscope for lack of “class and respect” when the former Manchester United man shared a letter from the Merseyside club apologizing for the 2011 Luis Suarez incident.
The Uruguayan striker was suspended for eight games and fined £ 40,000 for using the word “Negrito” against Evra during a Premier League match between Liverpool and United at Anfield in 2011.
Immediately after Evra made the Suarez allegations, Liverpool defended their player and even wore t-shirts in support of the striker ahead of a league game against Wigan in 2012.

When Suarez returned from his ban later in the season, he turned down Evra’s offer to shake hands with the Manchester United captain in the 2012 return leg at Old Trafford.
Along with a picture of a 2019 letter of apology from Liverpool general manager Peter Moore, Evra hit Liverpool fans who mistreated him in the years following the incident.
Evra titled the letter ahead of the Manchester United Premier League game against Liverpool on Sunday: “I wish the Liverpool fans had the same respect and class as you, Peter Moore.”
It is the first time Evra has shared the letter from Liverpool referring to a “collective regret” in supporting Suarez after the Football Association banned him for racist abuse.

The French defender found out about the Suarez incident during an episode of Sky Sports’ Monday Night Football in October 2019, and Moore felt compelled to text Evra after hearing his ordeal.
The letter read: “The reason for my correspondence is straightforward and necessary. We owe you an apology. It was a mystery to us not to apologize long in advance, and that is a mistake for which we must take responsibility.
“As an association, we failed to meet our own high standards of inclusivity, equality and fairness when we were confronted with your grave but fully justified allegations eight years ago. This is a matter of collective regret.
