""I saw him coming towards me - a guy with a rucksack and he's obviously got something in there. Everyone's gone towards the buffet, and that is on the verge of being full up. There's no one else getting in there. I wasn't even going to bother pushing to get in. "There's young women and they need to get them in. I confronted this guy, because I've got to make sure that the door's locked and I've looked around to save a bit of time.""
""Do you want to die? Do you want to die? "He's gone for me and there was a tussle in the arms with him and that's where my hand, the fingers are really bad, four cuts through them, sliced. And then he raised it and must have caught me when I was ducking and diving and must have caught me on the head.""
Stephen Crean, 61, confronted a knifeman on an LNER service from Doncaster to London after returning from a 2-2 draw with Manchester United at the City Ground. The attacker stabbed Crean seven times during a struggle and at least ten people were injured as the train made an emergency stop in Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire. Crean sustained cuts through four fingers and a head wound while trying to protect other passengers, including young women, as the attacker produced an oversized blade. Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis pledged support to affected fans and a fundraising link has been shared to assist Crean's recovery.
