Poor Gorka. That is so horrid. I noticed the headline states 2 teeth knocked out, but later on says 2 teeth were broken - both nasty, but there is a difference.
Unfortunately, like so many towns and cities world wide, Blackpool late at night can be a dangerous place to be. Whenever we were in Blackpool, which was frequent, we were always told to order a taxi, even to go a short journey. Even so it seems odd that 3 guys together were targetted. (I wonder where their significant others were at the time?)
Like everyone else, we wish Gorka well.
