More tributes flood in for tragic Shrewsbury Town fan killed by tube train
Further tributes have been paid to Shrewsbury Town fan Nick Mann, who died after being hit by a train while trying to save his brother.
Nick, who was killed after being hit by a London Underground train, has been described by a former employer as a gifted writer and a "charming presence" in the office.
The 35-year-old was killed after jumping on to the tracks to try to pull his younger brother, Robert, 32, to safety.
The accident at Old Street London Underground station happened shortly after 12.20am on Sunday.
Nick, who lived in London, had worked as a senior reporter for websites including Public Finance.
A statement on behalf of staff said: "The Public Finance team were very shocked and saddened to learn of the tragic death of our former colleague Nick Mann.
"Nick worked for Public Finance from late 2011 until the summer of 2013 when he moved on to a job with HMRC. He played a pivotal role in the creation of the PF International website, sourcing and writing public finance stories from across the world.
"Nick was a gifted writer and a charming and easygoing presence in the office. We will all miss him and send our deepest condolences to his family and friends."
Robert is reported to have been trying to retrieve something from the tracks, possibly his wallet or mobile phone, after dropping it as the brothers returned from a night out in the capital.
The pair were treated at the scene and then taken to Royal London Hospital in a critical condition. Nick died in hospital while his brother, who survived the collision, is now in hospital fighting for his life.
The incident happened just after hours after the pair watched Shrewsbury beat Portsmouth. A statement released by Shrewsbury Town paid tribute to Nick and said that fans would be able to remember his life at tomorrow's home tie with Dagenham & Redbridge with a minute's applause.
Robert is a student who now lives in Manchester and Nick lived in London where he was a writer. The pair are believed to have gone to the Grange School in Shrewsbury.
Police say they are not currently treating the incident as suspicious and are working to put together a fuller picture of what happened.
