Steve Cook’s brilliant gesture in memory of Nottingham attacks victim

Nottingham Forest defender Steve Cook has joined teammate Ryan Yates in donating to a memorial fund for Nottingham attacks victim Ian Coates.

The 65-year-old was one of three people who were killed in attacks in Nottingham early on Tuesday morning. 19-year-old students Grace O’Malley-Kumar and Barnaby Webber were the two other victims, while a third remains in a critical condition in hospital after being run over.

Following the incident, a fundraiser has been set up to raise funds to help with funeral expenses and in memory of Ian Coates, who was a Nottingham Forest fan. The school caretaker was due to retire in just a few months time.
