Simon Dobbin was beaten to death by 12 football hooligans in Southend
to introduce ‘Simon’s Law’, calling for harsher sentences for acts of violent disorder.
‘Nobody has the right to take their fists and destroy somebody’s life in 90 seconds. Simon will never recover from his injuries,’ said the 48-year-old mother.‘He was on life support for a few months and was in hospital for a year, that should be taken out of their [the attackers’] wages or benefits. ‘At the beginning it was really really difficult. He was in so much pain but I had to do it for him,’ she said.
Nicole and Simon, a former transport manager at an oil company following nine years in the RAF, were forced to give up their jobs and claim benefits following the attack.The carer said she wishes she could pay into the NHS to say thank you for helping her husband, but also to give staff a wage rise because they ‘deserve so much more than they get’.
