It was one of the stranger stories of the weekend. On Sunday morning, news filtered through that a fan had an actual poo during Sunderland's Championship game against Reading at the weekend.
After the full-time whistle, a man told the story on a Sunderland forum, saying that the bloke 'dropped his pants to his ankles, squatted and curled one out'.
He then went on to describe how police had to take him away after the incident, before stating that someone in the crowd gagged and 'spewed up' as the excrement lay on the ground.
Just days after the incident, 17-year-old Callum Mawson has responded to the claims of defecating on his seat in the Stadium of Light.

Footage and pictures of the lad squatting in a seat emerged online, and with the above story going viral, many believed that the youngster did take a poo during the game.
Callum has now played down the reports, insisting that he did not defecate on his seat.
In an interview via The Mirror, Mawson claims that he had only eaten two chocolates from his advent calendar before drinking 12 bottles of beer and six pints of cider on match day.

"I am apologetic for it, I am sorry. I didn't defecate on the seat, that's the God's honest truth. I can't recall any of it. I got to the ground, sat in my seat and the next thing I remember was I was being in the holding cell in the stadium." He said.
"I didn't find out about the whole incident until half 11 at night when my friend told me. It was all over Facebook. Gary Lineker had put it on his Twitter.
"It's embarrassing, I'm ashamed. I didn't even know what I was doing. A lad who sat next to me put on Twitter saying it didn't happen. He said, 'I can confirm he didn't have a s*** in his seat'. He said, 'I can I can confirm he had a piss'.
"I'd rather it be that then having a s*** on the seat. But I'd rather it be nothing at all. I think I must have been so drunk I thought I was on the toilet. That's the only thing I can think of. I wouldn't have done it for no reason." He said via The Mirror.

"I don't know what was going through my head when I did it, I really don't. There's been people messaging me giving me hate. I don't want people to think I don't care. I am ashamed of it.
"There is no excuse for what I have done, I regret my actions, but there is no need for such hurtful comments. I understand why it's had so much attention but I don't appreciate the lies."
Mawson also revealed that he has been suspended from work and fears that he may lose his job.
