It has been a year since Nottingham Forest supporter Stephen Crean stood up to a man with a knife on a train home after watching his side take on Manchester United. While passengers ran through the carriage, he tried to restrain the attacker so others had time to get away. He was left with wounds to his head, back and hands while shielding people he had never met. Later, Stephen put it plainly: “My motive was to protect people. I was scared, but then [the fear] went away.” Other Forest fans started a fundraiser aiming for £500; within a few days it had gone beyond £30,000. Twelve months later, his bravery deserves to be remembered, as do all those hurt or affected that night. He had simply gone to a football match and ended up putting his life on the line so strangers could get home. What courage and bravery look like 👍 A true hero. ❤️
