Garda appeal as hat-trick hero in critical condition after assault

GARDAÍ last night issued another appeal for witnesses to an assault that left a former Republic of Ireland and Nottingham Forest soccer player in critical condition in a Cork hospital.

He was found suffering from serious head injuries by a member of the public, who immediately contacted emergency services.
