The family and friends of missing Liam Colgan turned to football fans for help yesterday in their deperate bid to find him.

The 29-year-old disappeared just over a fortnight ago on his brother Eamonn’s stag party in Hamburg.

Liam was to be his brother’s best man and had organised the stag trip to the city.

Eamonn, 33, was due to marry fiancee Susan in March but has postponed the wedding until his brother is found.

He has remained in Hamburg in the north of Germany to try to trace his brother and yesterday handed out “missing” leaflets at Millerntor Stadium, the home of Bundesliga 2 side FC St Pauli.

The ground is a few hundred yards from the Veermaster pub in the Reeperbahn, where the party had been before Liam vanished.

Stefan Schatz, supporters’ liaison officer for FC St Pauli, said: “There were people here handing out leaflets at the game against Kiel. Unfortunately it is still big news here in Hamburg and I know that St Pauli’s head of security Sven Brux is in touch with Liam’s brother.

“Hopefully this story comes to a good end and soon.”

Liam, from Inverness, was separated from the rest of his party between 1am and 1.30am on February 10 and was last seen in the Baumwall area at 2.20am, which is close to the River Elbe and a train station.

A passer-by reported that he assisted Liam by helping him up after he had fallen.

He can be seen on CCTV looking back at Liam who, after trying unsuccessfully to enter a building, is seen walking towards nearby Michelwiese Park.

Eamonn, a policeman from Broughty Ferry near Dundee, has been continuing to appeal for anyone with information on his brother’s whereabouts.

In the days after his disappearance, several people came forward to report sightings of a man fitting Liam’s description in Buxtehude, which is about an hour by train from where Liam was seen.

German police have since said that there is “no hot lead” to suggest that Liam ended up in Buxtehude.

A male similar in appearance to Liam was captured on CCTV images at St Michael’s Church near Michelwiese Park but the images are not clear enough to confirm that the person is definitely the missing Scot.
