Default England fan killed

I know England fans aren't the best behaved, but this is why some may feel that the reputation they have is slightly unjust. Its not the first time an English football fan has gone abroad to watch football, only to be killed by other nations hooligans.

Other reports say that the Ukranian held over the murder was trying to rob him...

Not football related.

BBC, Sky and CNN all report it as a attempted robbery by a Ukranian man and probably had nothing to do with the football.

That story is incorrect And the press are nothing but vultures

Steve happens to be the son of a collegue of my mothers... He is 27 NOT 28. He has lived in Portugal for quite some time, so although he may have been supporting England, he is not a holiday maker or UK based fan who has flown over.

His mother is distraught, and thanks to the press can't even go close to her own home without being hounded, this inccident has shocked me. But the actions of others trying to make money out of someones tragic loss make me sick and extremely angry. She already endured a loss earlier this year and now she has to cope with this My thoughts are with her and her family.

That's rough. Condolences to those concerned.
