Stan Collymore has said he will shock the nation with the story of an England fan whose ear was bitten off at a World Cup stadium in Brazil.

The football pundit told his 619,000 Twitter followers that he had footage of the attack, which would be “the biggest story in the UK”.

His trail comes in the wake of the Luis Suarez biting storm, which led to the Uruguay striker being banned from all football for four months and suspended from nine international games.

Collymore said last night: “WORLD EXCLUSIVE. I’ve interviewed and seen footage of #ENG fan attacked INSIDE Arena Sao Paulo, and his ear was BITTEN OFF.”

The radio and TV broadcaster, 43, than teased intrigued followers with two further posts.

He wrote: “The story that will unfold in the coming days, the footage will be the biggest story in the UK. I guarantee this.

“Especially who did it.”

But the former England and Liverpool striker was challenged by some followers to tell the story and provide an update on the fan’s condition.

He then wrote another tweet saying: “I was approached as I was trusted with the content. I’ve never seen anything like it. I made a colleague witness it as proof. Incredible.”

Suarez has returned back to Uruguay from the World Cup after biting Italy defender Giorgio Chiellini.

Collymore has said the Liverpool star needs emotional support rather than a “complete hammering”.
