Dan Seaborne, Southampton

Southampton FC's Dan Seaborne fighting for life after city centre attack From Daily Echo)

Bloody hell. All the best to him and his family.

Absolutely gutted about this. He's been a rock this season. Many thought he might not be able to make the step up but he has been in top form in the games he's played and still fairly young. Just have to hope he makes a full recovery.

f***, i was in class with his sister in college, best of luck danny, praying for you.

It's not on Southampton's website, but there is a story about Jason Puncheon going to QPR.

The headline is Punch Off; I suggest they might want to change that.

 

[Biscuit]

Very sad news. Get well soon Mr Seaborne.

 

[Sussex Nomad]

All the best for a speedy recovery.

You'd have thought Nigel Adkins would have warned his players off nightclubs by now.

I should add that wasn't meant as a dig at Seaborne, if he was on a weekend off, he's entitled to go about his business. More interesting to read the "hang em & flog em" opinions of the Saints fans on the Echo link there, in relation to the perpetrators. Lots of references to disgusting, drunken thugs and the like.

Without reading back through the archives, I presume they also expressed the same opinion about Lee Barnard a while back?

Blimey! Get well soon Dan............

 

[Ninja Elephant]

Lee Barnard up to his old tricks again?....

 

[Braders]

Saw this earlier , hope he makes a speedy recovery. Awful news.

My very fisrt thought on reading the news, was whether Barnard's actions had made it unsafe for Saints players to have a night out, in the wrong place - ie. whether there might be a case of local idiots trying to 'even the score'.

Hope he pulls through and is ok.

Having been to uni in Southampton I can tell you there are some pretty tough locals down there who don't like students and don't like flash footballers much either. I think the club he was in used to be a strip joint, don't know what its like now though. Hope hes ok.

 

[Quagmire]

Hopefully he makes a full recovery. Horrible news, and not just for Southampton.

Just seen a post from a saints fan on another forum, rumour is he was chucked out by a bouncer and he hit his head?

From the Echo comments:

"No one deserves what this player got, but when you go round to each girl (ones with boyfriends) in the club telling them your on 5k a week and googling yourself to prove your a footballer your asking for trouble, and to then slap a doorman and be warned then do it again.

The city is safe your just got to not act like a complete moron when in it."

I was just about to post that comment from Uberman. If it is the case and very sad that these things happen it still doesn't justify this outcome. Hope the perpetrator is brought to justice and hope Dan Seabourne makes a full and speedy recovery.

Quite a damning comment.

But at times a footballer can innocently be enjoying a night out with friends when others interpret his presence with such extreme envy it prompts acts of vitriol towards them.

Maybe he was just enjoying the attention of a few women, maybe buying his mates a few lagers paying with his wedge of cash.

A jealous violent moron may interpret this behaviour just as commented.

Maybe he is a knob who knows, but next time you bump into a Brighton player innocently enjoying a night out, I wonder if we secretly think, lucky bugger, a more violent thug may interpret things a little differently.

Danny is now conscious and in 'stable condition'.
