Nottingham Forest Donates £10,000 as Fundraisers Surge for Huntingdon Train Stabbing Victims

The club contribution follows a fan-organised drive that has rapidly expanded to support injured passengers recovering from the 1 November attack.

Overview

  • Forest’s £10,000 gift to supporter Stephen Crean helped push his JustGiving total past £46,000 after an initial £500 target.
  • Reports say the club has also offered Crean a complimentary 2026–27 season ticket and an invitation to travel with the squad to a Europa League fixture.
  • Crean, 61, is recovering at home from stab wounds to his head, back and hand and is awaiting a decision on whether his hand will require surgery.
  • A separate fundraiser for Scunthorpe United defender Jonathan Gjoshe, who had an operation after a bicep injury, has passed roughly £3,700.
  • Anthony Williams, 32, has been charged with multiple counts of attempted murder linked to the train attack and a DLR incident, was remanded in custody, and is due at Cambridge Crown Court on 1 December.
