Overview
- Stephen Crean was welcomed back to the City Ground and applauded by all four stands, taking a seat in the directors’ box near owner Evangelos Marinakis.
- Nottingham Forest donated £10,000 to a supporters’ JustGiving appeal, which has now raised around £60,000 to support Crean’s recovery.
- Ryanair declined to refund a flight Crean missed due to his injuries, citing its non‑refundable fares policy, prompting anger from some fans and calls for a boycott.
- Crean says he confronted the knife-wielding attacker to protect passengers and was treated at Addenbrooke’s Hospital; he expects to need plastic surgery for hand injuries.
- The alleged assailant, Anthony Williams, has been charged with 11 counts of attempted murder and remains in custody after the train was halted at Huntingdon and he was tasered.
