I was walking past just as this all unfolded. I was walking back to the car with my lad and my uncle when one man was hit so hard he was unconscious immediately and I have never heard a thud as loud as when his head hit the floor. I immediately shouted to the nearest Police Officer to radio for an ambulance and they seemed somewhat slow in calling the ambulance.
I shouted once again and the officer took the sarcastic approach and said to me words to the effect of "Do you want me to fly one in?"
At this point, the man who was motionless on the floor was clearly in a bad way and then more officers approached and started pushing people away. Then the horses came across and people were ushered away and those who were responsible had clearly disappeared into the night.
Now I do not know if the guy who was flat out was a City fan or a Chelsea fan, however we need to remember that this is nothing more than a football game and somebody may not get home tonight or possibly for quite a while. The way his head hit the floor, I still fear the worse for him. Somebody will be making his way home particularly proud of himself and may be seen as a hero to his friends when the reality is that the guy could be dead after such a heavy impact with the floor.
I hope that he/those who were responsible have the courage to turn themselves in however I know that this simply will not happen. Regardless of whether the injured person was a City or Chelsea fan, I doubt that he deserved to be injured in this way and above all, I wish him a speedy recovery.
