The England fan who underwent CPR in the street yesterday is alive, but is in an induced coma. He's a Pompey fan and a Hampshire boy... Nobody expects this to happen, when it should be a joyful experience following your national team. Really hope that he pulls through and makes a full recovery...SA
Saints_Alive - Do you have any further information as to identity of the injured fan ? Would like to read the article. Cheers pal.
The info came from Doing The Lambert Walk, who works as a journalist, he did not post a link to an article, only the details that I have relayed here. Sorry I can't be more helpful than that Woops. It's just terrible news and should never have happened if Marsaille had been policed adequately.
Cheers S_A. 'Tis shocking news. Shame the French police weren't showing more of a presence in the ground, to stop the Russian "fans" from attacking the England fans in the stadium. I know our fans like a drink or two, but the police must have been aware at the baiting by the Ruskis, and allegedly the local Algerians & Moroccans outside the ground in previous evenings. Hope the poor lad makes a full recovery
The Pompey fan's name is Andrew Bache or "Pepe" and they have set up a page for people to donate money for him.... https://crowdfunding.justgiving.com/Pepefrompompey?utm_id=106&utm_term=Bq3vBg59V
