ENGLAND TRIBUTE TO DANNY FULLBROOK

ENGLAND boss Roy Hodgson and skipper Steven Gerrard led the tributes to the Daily Star’s chief football writer, Danny Fullbrook, who died yesterday.

Speaking before his press conference ahead of tonight’s game against Ukraine Hodgson said: “On behalf of the England team and the FA, we’d like to pass on the deepest condolences to the family of Danny Fullbrook, who sadly died during the night after bravely fighting his illness.

“I know that many of the room were big colleagues of his and respected him very much for the excellent journalist he was.

“I also got to know him because he covered the Fulham games. We would like to pass on the deepest sympathies
to the family.”

Skipper Gerrard added: “I got to know Danny quite well.

“I did a column with him and he was a very nice and genuine guy.

“I’d like to echo what the manager said and pass on my sympathies and condolences to Danny’s family – especially his little boy."
