"Scunthorpe United and the wider footballing world continues to show love and support to young defender Jonathan Gjoshe. The 22-year-old was injured in the LNER train stabbing incident that took place on Saturday, as a train bound for London left Doncaster. Gjoshe is one of 11 people who were attacked during the attack, and the footballer remains in hospital after having surgery to fix a slash he sustained across his bicep."
"Having also represented local North Lincolnshire side Bottesford Town, Gjoshe had in fact played just hours before he was attacked on a London-bound service over the weekend. The Poachers were beaten 2-1 by Handsworth in the NCEL Premier Division, with the 22-year-old having played 68 minutes before being replaced. Gjoshe had only joined the Iron on non-contract terms back in September, after a spate of defensive injuries and suspensions meant manager Andy Butler needed further players registered to play."
Jonathan Gjoshe, a 22-year-old defender, was injured in a mass stabbing on an LNER Azuma service between Doncaster and London King's Cross and is one of 11 people attacked. The footballer remains in hospital after surgery to repair a slash across his bicep. Gjoshe had played for Bottesford Town just hours before the incident, featuring for 68 minutes in a 2-1 defeat to Handsworth. He joined Scunthorpe United on non-contract terms in September amid defensive shortages and held a dual-registration to continue playing for Bottesford while being eligible for Scunthorpe competitions. Local outlet Iron Bru launched a GoFundMe to assist with costs.
