British football player in serious condition after stabbing

Apparently he and his Mother were both injured in the attack. I hope they both recover quickly.

For future reference Rulius, when you Post a link to a news story, you should also be including content; that is to say, your own thoughts on the matter. Technically, a Post like this is considered Spamming.
 
For those who haven't clicked the link, the attack involved Calum Davenport of West Ham United, having had both legs stabbed. Hope he and his mother recover soon - Davenport had emergency surgery last night. Here's hoping too his career isn't finished.
 
My club Forest were rumoured to be signing him later this week, looks like his career will be on the back burner. I hear hes now out of danger so thats good news.
 
Is there any info whether the attack is football-related?

It's terrible either way, but would be interesting to know...

Being stabbed in both legs would seem to indicate possibly it was, but I'm assuming they knew who he was and that that might be a weak spot-- ie open the safe or we screw your career...this is assuming it was a burglary, there isn't a lot of info as yet, could be anything, but going for the legs seems awfully specific.

BBC News says that Davenport's sister's 25 year old boyfriend has been remanded in custody in connection with the attack. It sounds personal.

Yeah it sounds it. The intention seems definitely to have been to fuck up his career though.
