The Mole: Raiders fan vows to return to Belmore despite 'vicious' treatment from rivals

Canberra celebrity supporter vows to return to stadium despite fearing for his life after attack.

Defiant Canberra celebrity supporter Simon Tayoun has vowed to return to Belmore Sports Ground next season - even though he admits fearing for his life as he was attacked by Bulldogs fans on Sunday.

Tayoun - born and raised in war-torn Lebanon - says he has never experienced the fear he felt as a group of Canterbury supporters allegedly hit him, pushed him to the ground and abused him after Sunday's game.

"They did that to me after they won - had they lost, I think they may have killed me," Tayoun, aged 59, told Wide World of Sports.
