Doctors fear a Tottenham Hotspur fan could be left with permanent damage to his eyesight, following an attack in which police think a fellow Spurs fan mistook him for a Chelsea supporter.

Michael Voller was assaulted after his team's FA Cup semi-final defeat by Chelsea on Saturday at Wembley.

He was set upon after the match outside an Indian restaurant near the stadium.

He was punched in the face and suffered a broken skull and damage to his cheekbone and eye-socket.

It almost seems that the media are making out it's worse because the injuries were caused by a supporter of the same team. It doesn't matter who supports who it's a disgrace to attack someone and cause those injuries. Hope they catch the scumbag and he gets sent down for a long long time. These are life changing injuries not just physically but mentally as well.

Tottenham have got some very unpleasant fans. As I was coming back from Arsenal last night at London Victoria, I stood with a young lad with a replica top on to keep him safe. A huge bloke in his forties made a cut-throat gesture towards me. Charming.

I entirely agree with your sentiment there. From another angle, you could say that this particular story is highlighting just how stupid these knuckledraggers are, rather than suggesting this incident isn't ok just because it was [allegedly] spurs on spurs.

But on the other thread about pitch invasions, someone firmly told you ALL clubs have the same types of fans and it's all harmless.

The photo suggests otherwise.

I've seen an Albion fan punch another on the train from falmer to Brighton - before realising they were both Albion & becoming friends.. I think the loss of sight potential in the story is a tad over egging it. He'll be fine

The suspect is described as a white man, aged in his early 20s and approximately 5ft 10ins tall. He was wearing a black hooded top or jacket.


Shouldn't be too hard to find.

Yep can see it going off in the town next season.
