Blyth Spartan's Richard Offiong makes race slur claim at Colwyn Bay rival
Blyth Spartans striker Richard Offiong is a former Newcastle United trainee A Blyth Spartans footballer has claimed he was the subject of a racial slur from a rival player during a game.
Richard Offiong tweeted a Colwyn Bay player said to him: "Where's your bunch of bananas, show me your passport."
Offiong has confirmed to BBC Wales that he has made an official complaint to the footballing authorities.
Colwyn chairman Bob Paton said in a statement: "We are aware of what is being said and will be making our own internal enquiries."
The Welsh club has said that there will be no further comment made until the internal investigation has been completed.
A Football Association spokesperson told the BBC that at this point English football's governing body was unable to confirm whether a complaint had been lodged.
BBC Wales has attempted to contact the Football Association of Wales, the FA's Welsh counterpart, for comment.
The alleged incident took place during Saturday's 2-2 draw in the Blue Square Bet North division.
The claim from 28-year-old Offiong, who joined Spartans last September after a short spell in Australia with Oakleigh Cannons, comes at a time when racism in football is under scrutiny.
Last month Queens Park Rangers defender Anton Ferdinand gave a statement to the FA relating to claims of racial abuse by Chelsea and England defender John Terry.
Earlier in October Uefa, European football's governing body, began disciplinary proceedings against the Bulgarian Football Union over alleged racist chanting and flares thrown by fans at the Euro 2012 qualifying game between Bulgaria and England in Sofia on 2 September.

The police have launched an investigation after the QPR defender Anton Ferdinand was sent a threatening letter in the post.
Metropolitan police officers were called after the document, which reportedly contained a death threat, arrived at the club's ground in west London last week.
The Sun said the contents of the letter were so graphic that QPR officials did not show it to the defender, who is at the centre of a race row involving John Terry.
A spokesman for Scotland Yard said: "I can confirm that officers are investigating an allegation of malicious communication."
The letter was delivered by hand to Loftus Road last Friday, according to reports.
Ferdinand, 26, was the alleged victim of a racist comment made by Terry during QPR's Premier League home match with Chelsea last month.
The 30-year-old Blues and England captain denies the claims, which are being investigated by the Met and the Football Association.
That rug really tied the room together.

This is the only thing that makes the whole Suarez debacle less excruciating, because you know for a fact, if the whole Terry wank weren't about, the FA would make a prime example of Suarez, regardless of what he might or might not have said, but they'll have to think twice now with regards to their pet prized knobhead El Capitano. Because if they were to convict Suarez in any way and then not do it to Terry, they'd be seen as the ultimate ****ing racists. This is going to be quite entertaining indeed
