A heroic Nottingham Forest fan on his way home from a football match spoke of trying to stop a rampaging knife attacker with his bare hands.

Football fan Stephen Crean, 61, described the moment the attacker asked him ‘do you want to die?’ during the stabbing incident on board the LNER train on Saturday.
