'NO WAY TO TREAT HERO'

FURY is growing at Ryanair's refusal to refund the Huntingdon hero who couldn't fly after he'd been stabbed.

Brave Nottingham Forest fan Stephen Crean, who is an Irish citizen, was slashed as he helped prevent the attacker reaching passengers hiding in the buffet carriage earlier this month.

The 61-year-old blocked him from knifing a teenage girl on the train, which she said saved her life.

Stephen, who was spotted watching his side take on Leeds yesterday, was due to fly to Austria last Wednesday to see Forest play Sturm Graz in the Europa League but missed out.
