Man Utd stars in touching gesture to footballer who suffered life-changing injury

David De Gea and other Manchester United stars met with Perth footballer Danny Hodgson, whose life was changed forever after he was the victim of an unprovoked assault.

Hodgson was left with a catastrophic brain injury in September last year, after being punched to the ground by a teenager – who was later jailed for three years and eight months for the attack in Perth.

After being placed in an induced coma and spending six months in hospital, Hodgson remains in a wheelchair but is making good progress with his rehabilitation and learning to walk again.
