TEENAGER Charlie Provan who is on the road to recovery after he was stabbed got a welcome surprise from one of his heroes.
Charlie Provan, 16, was attacked 50 metres from his house in Firs Road, West Mersea on January 8 and spent four days in hospital.
Football-mad Charlie got a boost yesterday when Colchester United captain Kem Izzet visited him at school and gave him a shirt signed by all the players.

Say what you like about Kemmy but this chap always goes out of his way to visit children and hospitals. Great ambassador for the club.

From what I have gleaned from Facebook pages like "Secret Mersea Island" the Police have yet to find out who stabbed Charlie. Is this just another example of the grossly inadequate policing on Mersea Island?
Mersea is a tiny place where reclusive and insular people go to hide from the world... a muddy outcrop full of gossip and innuendo where anybody who isn't as strange as they are can be targeted and even harassed off the island. Wicker Man territory!
What would have been more useful may have been some kind of fund which set up a cash reward for information to catch whoever stuck a blade into poor Charlie. Then the gossip which is rife on this god forsaken place might have produced a "RESULT"!
