Cambridge United fan fights for his life after attack following Southend game
41 year old Cambridge United fan Simon Dobbin was put on a life support machine after he and a friend were attacked near Southend's Railway pub at about 7.20pm on Saturday.
I don't wish to bash on Southend Untied, so I should point out that from reading an online article it doesn't appear to be an attack by Southend fans just two locals from the area.

Was quite shocked to come accross the East Anglia's number 1 website, which has now been removed. Cambridge football hooligans, honestly thought all this was long gone.
All the best to the victim and families. As I work in Cambridge, I'm astonished this nonsense still goes on.
It happened in Southend and they have said they weren't football hooligans?
@BlueAway , I know where the incident happened, the news article mentioned a hooligan website, hosted by or associated with CUFC. Thus Abbey elements chatting and enticing violence prior to the Southend away game, thus has since been removed, I read a fair comments and I guess the Police have too.
Opps I mean associated with CUFC hooligans, not the real fans who support their club like human beings.
Oh I seee
