Sean Cox showing signs of improvement, family say

The Irish Liverpool fan who suffered a devastating brain injury in an assault before a Champions League game at Anfield is showing more encouraging signs of improvement, his family say.

Sean Cox, the 53-year-old father-of-three from Dunboyne in Co Meath, no longer has a feeding tube and is starting to eat and drink again with the help of nursing staff at the National Rehabilitation Centre, his wife, Martina said.
