An amateur footballer has been left needing facial reconstruction surgery after he was kicked and beaten as he lay unconscious following an attack by up to six men in Colchester.

Wivenhoe Town FC goalkeeper Richie Robins is thought to have been set upon after he tried to protect a woman.

The 21-year-old student was attacked outside Subway on Queen Street at about 03:30 GMT on Saturday.

He was out with friends after coming home from university for Christmas.

Essex Police said the former Colchester United youth team player had been punched and knocked out before the attack continued as he lay on the floor.

A spokesman said there had been about six attackers who were described as black and in their late teens and early 20s.

Officers arrested a 19-year-old man from Colchester in connection with the attack, who has since been released on police bail.
