Former Leeds United star Dominic Matteo has issued a plea for information to help track down the attacker who punched Gary McAllister over the weekend.

The centre-back and fellow Scot made a Facebook appeal after McAllister was attacked in the early hours of Sunday morning in Call Lane while waiting for a taxi.

He wrote: “The attack was totally unprovoked and very vicious. Gary was hospitalised, he lost three teeth in the attack and had plastic surgery on his lip needing 12 stitches.

“The attacker is thought to be American, and due to the severity of the injuries may have been wearing a ‘knuckle duster’ or similar.”
