The Production Planner, who works for Burnetts Manufacturing, was left with serious injuries after being pounced upon.

Many of the 150-strong Russian mob who went on the rampage in Marseilles were reported to be highly-trained martial artists off their faces on drugs.

Friends and family of the Leicester City follower are now trying to raise money for the horrifically injured football fanatic.

He has been in a coma since sustaining serious head injuries and remains in France.

The family man is showing the early signs of recovery but will be unable to work for a long while.

Money raised will go towards his mounting medical bills and help with his bills back home, says his family.
