Former Manchester City winger Trevor Sinclair caused a huge stir on Twitter on Tuesday night by aiming a controversial slur at Liverpool.

While watching City romp to a 4-1 victory over Burnley in the Premier League, Sinclair - who played for the club between 2003 and 2007 - wrote on social media: 'Bin dippers we're coming for you.'

On Wednesday morning, Sinclair - speaking on air on talkSPORT alongside Jim White - apologised to anyone he offended.

The 46-year-old insisted he will donate Wednesday's talkSPORT fee to Whitechapel Centre, which is a leading homeless and housing charity in the Liverpool region.

Inevitably, Liverpool fans took to social media after the needless jibe on Tuesday to vent their frustration - with many demanding he is sacked as a pundit from talkSPORT following his grim reference mocking poverty on Merseyside.

One football supporter replied to talkSPORT on Wednesday morning on Twitter, questioning: 'Have you sacked Trevor Sinclair yet?'

Another social media user made the claim following his controversial tweet: 'Trevor Sinclair will be sacked in the morning.'

The radio station was tagged in another furious tweet again: 'I see your mate from talkSPORT, Trevor Sinclair, was tweeting sick comments about people starving. Any comment? Thought not.'

Meanwhile, someone else wrote: 'Trevor Sinclair, a man supposed to be a professional media pundit, thinks its ok to mock poverty.'

And the angry responses continued to flood in on Tuesday night and Wednesday morning following the Premier League action.

'What a bigoted comment. When are the FA going to do something about these hateful names and get people like Trevor Sinclair out of the game #kickitout', blasted another social media user.

And following the massive reaction on social media, 46-year-old Sinclair tried to backtrack immediately on Twitter.

After receiving initial abuse, the former England international joked, alongside three laughing emojis: 'So sensitive, calm down you're still 8 points ahead.'

He then opted for a more sensitive approach on Wednesday morning.

'To any fan that was offended by what I wrote last night I apologise', Sinclair said on Twitter. 'It was a throw away line regarding closing the gap.

'It wasn't my intention to offend anyone, especially from a social stance. I'm a working class lad and understand how it's been taken. Sorry.'

Back in January 2018, the former England footballer had been axed as a Match of the Day pundit after calling a policeman a 'white c**t' before urinating in a police car after he was caught drink driving.
