Missing Northern Ireland fan Kane Leslie

FEARS are growing for a Northern Ireland fan who is feared missing at the Euro finals in France.

Friends of Kane Leslie appealed on Twitter to anyone who had seen him in Nice to contact Steve Hudson, who uses the nickname @hudo, on the social media site.

An appeal has also gone out on Facebook.

A friend of Mr Leslie said he had not been seen since Sunday at 2 pm local time, and had been heading to a beach.

He is understood to have missed the first Northern Ireland match of the tournament against Poland.

Among those who retweeted the appeal George Best’s son Calum Best and radio DJ and soccer, darts and snooker pundit Colin Murray.

Kane has been reported as a missing person by his friends to the French police, according to a Portsmouth Facebook page.

People are asked to share this page as far and as wide a circle of friends and businesses as possible in the hope Kane can be found safe and well.

In this picture above, people on Facebook remember seeing Carl Paddon (on the right) outside Ma Nolans pub in Nice on his own and was taken home but said “there was no sign of his friend” Kane.

This morning friends on Facebook are downhearted over the search saying the trail “has gone cold”.
