    Dan Roan
    BBC Sports editor

    Martina Cox, whose husband Sean was attacked before Liverpool's Champions League semi-final against Roma in April, has spoken about how he "never came home"..

    She says the attack lasted just 17 seconds - but those seconds will have a lifetime effect on the 53-year-old, who now cannot talk, walk or sit up unaided.

    The father-of-three was assaulted by a Roma fan outside a pub metres from the stadium and less than an hour before kick-off.

    According to Mrs Cox, her husband was struck at the back and side of the head and then he fell, receiving a third knock to the head on the ground, in what she calls a "life-changing, horrific fall".

    Nobody has been convicted of the attack.

    The now 95-year-old played for Carlisle, Newcastle and Manchester City before ending his playing days with Queen of the South in Dumfries.

    It turns out someone borrowed the kit for a charity football game in the 1960s and forgot to give it back... until now.

  13. Wilder v Fury: Gypsy King in peak condition and could cause on upset in LApublished at 11:19 Greenwich Mean Time 27 November 2018

    Mike Costello
    BBC Sport boxing correspondent

    Tyson Fury could cause an upset against Deontay Wilder and Saturday's fight might be the start of something special , writes BBC Sport's Mike Costello.

    Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder

    The presence of fellow Mancunian Ricky Hatton in Fury's corner on Saturday night will serve as an indication of just how far the Gypsy King has travelled in his mission to reshape his mind, body, life, and career.

    In poundage, Manchester's Fury has shed the equivalent of a peak-condition, light-welterweight Hatton since returning to training a year ago.

    And like Hatton, Fury has had to deal with the torment which sometimes besets even those who appear to have it all.

    Hundreds of people gathered in Crosby Village this weekend for the annual Christmas lights switch-on – but the tree has come under criticism for being too small.

    Local people expressed their disappointment on social media calling it a "disgrace".

    Jeanette Balshaw Calderbank said:

    Quote Message

    I thought my son was joking when he told me but I’ve just seen it and it’s terrible. It’s a shock and a disappointment.

    Quote Message

    The community put money into Crosby businesses, so why can’t the businesses buy a proper tree?

    Victoria ward councillor Michael Roche said the tree is small due to the fact it is a living tree, which will be in the village for generations to come.

    He said:

    Quote Message

    We already have offers from children’s organisations and schools to decorate the tree for the various occasions of the year such as Easter, Remembrance Sunday, Chinese New Year.

    Quote Message

    Although there was a lot of negativity posted on social media, when people have realised the intention and that it is a living tree, then responses have been very, very positive.

    Quote Message

    One said next year they’ll be moaning that it is too big.
