Birmingham City fans will meet this Saturday (1st Feb) to remember the life of 12-year-old Leo Ross who was stabbed to death on his way home from school.

A 14-year-old has been charged for the death of the boy who was killed in a country park last Tuesday (21st Jan).

Leo Ross was reportedly a Birmingham City fan.

The Official Supporters Club has organised a meet-up at 1pm in the KOP car park to lay some flowers and wreaths for Leo.

The Club also said that a 12th minutes applause will be held during their match on Saturday against Rotherham (1st Feb).

A spokesperson for The Supporters Club said: "We are very upset after one of our own fans and a young Brummie lost his life at such a young age.

"Knife crime is growing in the city and the community needs to speak up about it," they said.
