He was a mascot for his beloved club and, in the months before his death, led England out at Wembley alongside former Black Cats striker Jermain Defoe.
Houghton was bailed and will be sentenced on November 17.
District Judge James Gould told him "your actions are utterly deplorable" and that all sentence options were open, including a prison sentence.
