West Ham boss David Sullivan has promised to find a flat for the homeless hero of the Manchester terror blast. David Sullivan and his son have offered to pay rent on a home for rough sleeper Stephen Jones, after being touched by his courage on the night of the attack at the Manchester Arena. Mr Jones received worldwide praise after he ran to help injured victims during the Ariana Grande concert and even pulled nails from children’s faces.
Dave Sullivan said, “I have spoken to Steven today and he is not homeless, but currently staying in a hotel which we are paying for. Steve has been in a hotel for a little while and we wait for him to choose his accommodation. We will get an agreement in place by the end of the week, and I am going up to Manchester to visit him on July 1st.”
Salman Abedi killed 22 people and injured 119 when he began a nail bomb at the arena. Mr Jones, who had been sleeping nearby, recalled watching in horror as children covered in blood began pouring out of the arena.
On May 22, the son of millionaire businessman David Sullivan tweeted, “Me and dad want to rent the homeless man in Manchester a house for 6 months. If anyone can help us get in touch, much much appreciated. Such a selfless act needs rewarding.”
Just a few hours later, the pair managed to track Mr Jones down with the help of a nearby homeless centre. David wrote: “WE HAVE FOUND STEVE! Shows the power for good social media has. Thank you to all those involved, you have helped change a man’s life.”
Mr Jones said, “I’m overwhelmed by the support and help, and that people have been setting up money for me. I’ve met the West Ham guy, he was in his Bentley in London. Next season when United play West Ham or City he’s going to have me as his guest of honour in his box or fly me down to London to watch it there.”
