Inquest date set on hero Shrewsbury Town fan Nick Mann
A date has been set for the inquest on Shrewsbury Town fan Nick Mann, who was killed on the London Underground as he tried to save his brother.
The hearing will take place on October 26 at 10am at Poplar Coroner's Court in Tower Hamlets, London.
Mr Mann, a journalist and music writer, was killed as he travelled home in London from watching Shrewsbury play Portsmouth in March.
The 35-year-old was killed by a Northern line train at Old Street Underground Station after he jumped onto the tracks to try to pull his younger brother Robert, 32, to safety. Robert was critically injured in the incident which took place at 12.20am on March 29.
The pair had been in the crowd at Fratton Park as Shrewsbury earned a 2-0 win over Portsmouth on the south coast.
Robert is a student who now lives in Manchester and Nick lived in Colliers Wood, South London.
The pair are believed to have gone to the Grange School in Shrewsbury.
Thousands of Shrewsbury Town football Club fans paid an emotional tribute to "one of their own" with a deafening minute's applause during their game against Dagenham and Redbridge in April.
