AGGRIEVED Millwall striker Ben May is considering suing referee Richard Beeby following his controversial sending off at Turf Moor on Tuesday.
May, 21, who was dismissed in the players tunnel for allegedly racially abusing Burnley defender Frank Sinclair, categorically denies the claim.
Witnesses inside the tunnel, including Sinclair, have backed the Lions striker by insisting no comments of a racial nature were made.
And May could now make legal history if he goes ahead with a High Court action for libel against the Northamptonshire official.
May's agent, David Manasseh, confirmed: "We are discussing the issue with lawyers.""
