The 42-year-old victim was attacked before kick-off at the Champions League cup final against Barcelona in the Olympic stadium in May. His attacker was wearing a blue Manchester United shirt with the letters DEE and number 38 on the back. Det Con Alex Robinson said the victim had been left permanently scarred. 'Vicious attack' The victim had broken up a row between his attacker and a woman outside the stadium. The offender threatened him but both men went their separate ways. Before the match started, however, the offender saw the victim again inside the stadium and, without provocation, bit part of his ear off. Det Con Robinson said: "The victim had done absolutely nothing to warrant such a vicious attack and has been left permanently scarred by the assault. "As any decent person would, he simply came to the aid of a woman who was being picked upon by this man outside the stadium but thought that was the end of the matter. "I am very keen to find this person in order to prevent him from going to any future football matches here or abroad as he is clearly not a football supporter." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Without biting anyone We've won it 5 times.
