Manchester United fan 'lucky to be alive' in Turkey as gang jump him in brutal attack after spotting tattoo
11.10.2023 - 10:37 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
A Manchester United fan says he's lucky to be alive after being ‘attacked by a rival footy fan who spotted his Red Devils tattoo’ and broke his jaw on a Turkish family holiday.
Kian Hoey claims he was walking back to his hotel in Marmaris, Turkey, when a man came up behind him and punched him with such force that he broke his jaw on both sides and cracked his teeth. His mum, Brenda Hoey, said she found him in his hotel room 'covered' in blood after he texted her to say he had been ‘jumped’.
The 19-year-old, who wasn't wearing a United shirt, said he went to a bar with friends on October 3 to watch the UEFA Champions League match that saw Galatasaray beat Manchester United 3-2.

After their team's defeat, the group went for a few drinks at another bar nearby before calling it a night and walking back to the hotel in the early hours of the morning. As they walked along the marina a group of seven men approached them and started discussing the match, with Kian conceding Galatasaray had been the better team.
It was only as they turned away to head to their hotel room that Kian believes they spotted the Red Devils tattoo on his right calf that identified him as a United supporter. The nuclear power plant security worker says it was then that the men launched an attack.
Shocking photos show Kian in hospital on October 5 after undergoing a gruelling five-and-a-half-hour op to fix his jaw.
He now faces a month with his jaw wired shut as he heals, while his friends recover from cuts and bruises
