(Reuters) - Stoke City winger James McClean says he has received "more abuse than any other player" during his nine-year spell in England but has had no support from soccer authorities, the media or his Irish team mates.

The 31-year-old's comments come after Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha and Sheffield United striker David McGoldrick were both subjected to racial abuse online over the weekend.
