VIDEO: Rotherham United boss Paul Warne's message of support for family of fan Danny Dix

Danny (38, pictured above right) died two weeks ago — a week after being assaulted in an incident in Bridgegate in Rotherham town centre.

A balloon release and candle-lighting was held in All Saints’ Square in his memory and a shrine of flowers, scarves and other tributes has been created at near the scene of the attack.

Millers manager Paul urged the family to stick together and support each other and sent the condolences of everyone at the club.

Tributes were also paid at the Cutler’s Arms on Westgate, where Saturday’s triple bill feature A Band Called Malice, The Score and Noasis, the last of whom dedicated final song Rock and Roll Star to Danny, of Munsbrough.

Players of the Pewter Pot and AFC Hind Sunday league sides observed a minute’s silence before their game last weekend.

Friends have bound together to raise funds to pay for Danny’s funeral and support his nine-year-old daughter, with almost £7,000 pledged to a GoFundMe page set up by friend Stefen Cox.

Scooter fan Danny will be remembered with a fundraiser at the Cutler’s on Wednesday, April 3, with a contribution from the sale of scooter patches earmarked for the memorial fund.

A charity football match will be played at Millmoor Junior’s home ground The Grange at Droppingwell, at 1pm on April 13.

Munsbrough FC and S5 United will play off for the Danny Dix Cup.

Donations will be requested for entry and parking.

Another fund-raising event will be held on April 26 at the Mail Coach on Wellgate.

Starting at 7pm, it will feature a raffle, auction and live entertainment from Echo Beach.

Five people have been arrested in connection with the assault in Bridgegate on March 9.

Three have since been released on bail and two released under investigation.

Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact the police on 101, quoting incident 675 of March 9.
