According to the Mirror, Tuck is being investigated by police following his rant on Twitter which saw him calling for Muslim children to be beheaded in apparent revenge for the street killing of the 25-year-old soldier.

The Northern Premier League player, fumed online: “All the mosque’s in England now should be bombed or gassed out!!!... Or stormed by 50 lads machetes, swords the lot. An make a statement.

“Am raging in me loft here yno... Got the balaclava out, dusted down an ready for the meet.

“I’d be going through there door mate an taking there kids head off an killing whoever was in site!!”

He urged the far-right English Defence League (EDL) to seek retribution for the brutal murder of a soldier by two extremists in Woolwich, London.

Tuck’s blast continued, “the @Official_EDLare in Woolwich now!! What I’d give to be there with them now #flop #flop #flop #curryheadseverywhere.” and also to the EDL leaders, “Go f**king nuts!!! About time this country fought back.”

Recently, Islamophobic attacks have seen a rise in Britain and there have been countless cases of offensive remarks made against the Muslim community by members of the EDL.
