A Liverpool fan travelling to the European Champions League final was stabbed by thugs and left for dead while he was holidaying with his son in the resort of Varna, Bulgaria, reports Mirror.co.uk.
The article says Robert Wright, 48, was attacked by a gang armed with knives at around 11pm on Saturday as he walked from a bar to his hotel, dressed in a Liverpool shirt. They stabbed him in the leg and stole his camera, cash and credit cards.
The man has been admitted to a local hospital.
His son will now travel on to Istanbul to see the game while he will be flown back home to Liverpool.
