She claimed the man had then stabbed Scott, who has three children, in the leg before knifing his friend in the stomach.

Scott was lucky not to be seriously injured and was discharged from hospital this morning, she said, but his friend, who is a feather-of-one, required major surgery and remains in intensive care.

Ms Wright, who lives in Heeley Green, said: 'We're all praying for Scott's friend and hoping that he's going to be OK.'

She told how her other son Grant Foster had been hit over the head with a bottle and then stabbed in the neck with the jagged remains during a night out in Sheffield only last year.

'It's devastating. Every time my children go out now I'm worried something's going to happen to them, and every time the phone rings at night I'm worried it's going to be terrible news,' she said.
