My thoughts are with this poor guys family and Cambridge Utd..Shame football is associated with this incident...I know football is all about passion and being tribal but no one should ever lose there life over something that is meant to be our entertainment.  Attacked by 12 Southend fans after a match. What makes it worse is some of the 12 guys who did it now walk free

Living in E. Anglia the progress of the poor man has been on the local news.

Minding his own business he was set upon by those thugs for no reason he suffered brain damage and was confined to a wheelchair.

There is no justice as he has now passed away and the thugs are out free.

Sad news, the cowards that attacked him are the scum of the earth.

Hope they get charged with manslaughter (edit murder) now.


When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

Some sort of "Not Welcome" campaign. Every club in the country life-banning the 12 and making a point about violence.

Such a sad story. Made me feel upset and angry reading it yesterday. The fact that the animals responsible got such pitiful sentences for effectively ending a man's life astonishes me. Should have been charged with attempted murder at the time and now it should be changed to murder!
RIP

I believe the rule on murder has always been one year and a day. If you get charged with GBH or attempted murder and they die from their injuries within that period it becomes murder.

It is pretty obvious if a group of people kick the living daylight out of someone that death could be a result so it should always be attempted murder at the least.

You don't know what weaknesses people have. A single punch would do a lot more damage to me potentially because I fractured all of my ribs down one side and punctured my lung 3 years ago. Might look alright at a glance but my ribs are misshaped and I can feel them move if I lift anything too heavy.

That’s so sad.

Never understand the mentality of people who do stuff like this. Sick in the head.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.
