Boro fan stabbed to death in Amsterdam

A middlesbrough fan has been fatally stabbed whilst in Amsterdam after Boro's UEFA Cup game against AZ Alkmaar on Thursday. Police have also confirmed that another man suffered serious injuries following the match which took place around about 40 miles from the Dutch capital.A Cleveland Police spokeswoman said: "We are in regular contact with police in Holland following information received by Cleveland Police this morning of an attack that took place in Amsterdam."This incident resulted in the death of one man and severe injuries to another man."


This is shocking news for every football fan around the country because all the man was probably trying to do was watch his side play in a UEFA Cup game but instead his family and friends are going to feel the pain and grief. Now I don't know the full details of this story but it has really shocked me on the day a very very famous footballer, George Best, died. A very bad day for football.
