Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 13 Nov, 17:32 · Archive

Harry Marchant, 19, from Haxby, was among 16 people wounded in a gun attack in Krakow, Poland, on Saturday, 7 November. He has since undergone surgery and is in stable condition in hospital. Four women and two men were killed in the attack, with local officials saying three of the women and one man were Polish.

Marchant is a lifelong York City supporter and has followed the club home and away. York City Football Club has made a £1,500 donation to his GoFundMe page to help with his recovery and eventual return to the UK. The fund has raised more than £18,000 in total, including donations from York players Ollie Pearce, Ryan Fallowfield and Frankie Maguire.

City head coach Lindsey said the club hopes to deliver three points in their visit to Rochdale on Saturday as a homage to Marchant. 'He has our best wishes from everybody here at York City, we're thinking about you and we'll try to win for you on Saturday,' Lindsey said. A club spokesperson added that everyone at York City would like to send their love and support to Marchant.
