A West Ham fan, who was the victim of a vicious machete racist attack, suffered three seizures during the night, but still went drinking with his mates today.

John Payne, 51, of Stepney, suffered brain injuries in the attack by three Asian men who were jailed at the Old Bailey for attempted murder.

He has been medically retired since the attack and carries a huge scar on the back of his skull from the assault.

Mr Payne, who is married, suffered a seizure at Amsterdam Airport and two more followed at Prague airport and in his hotel.
