A DEFENDANT in the trial of eight rival football fans has told a jury he felt scared by a violent clash between two sets of supporters.

At Derby Crown Court yesterday, Daniel Slowinski said he was not involved in the incident between Derby County and Nottingham Forest supporters at the Florence Nightingale pub.

The rolex replica 22-year-old Network Rail worker is one of eight men who have pleaded not guilty to affray following the clash on January 23 last year.

Slowinski's defence barrister, Alastair Munt, asked his client how he felt after the two sets of supporters had clashed. He replied: "Still scared. The worse of it had been and gone, in my opinion, so relieved it was over and done with."

The court heard that Slowinski had gone to the pub with a friend prior to Derby County's FA Cup clash with Nottingham Forest at Pride Park. The prosecution alleged that he was acting as a "spotter" and was there to inform other Derby fans of any Forest supporters inside the pub. This was denied by the defendant.

CCTV footage showed Slowinski enter the pub, where Forest fans were drinking, at about 7pm. He told the court he felt "vulnerable" after he saw a Forest badge on the coat of one of the men. He said he felt the atmosphere inside was "very tense".

Minutes later, a group of other men, alleged to have been involved in the affray, walked into the pub.

Slowinski, a Derby County supporter, said replica rolex he was in a lobby area of the pub when the incident took place.

The defendant told the court a bottle was "aggressively" taken from him by a member of the Derby County group as the incident was taking place.

When asked by Mr Munt what he did next, Slowinski said: "I moved towards the exit door. I had a look at what was happening and that was pretty much it."

Along with Slowinski, 22, of Rosemary Drive, Alvaston, seven other defendants have pleaded not guilty. They are Matthew Freeman, 20, of The Pinfold, Belper; Steven Bambrick, 36, of Main Street, Swadlincote; Roger Clarke, 48, of Holloway, Matlock; Paul Nightingale, 36, of Main Road, Whatstandwell; Craig Wheeldon, 29, of Cromford Road, Wirksworth; Paul Moss, 40, of Edgeway, Nottingham, and Aaron Wakefield, 30, of Eltham Drive, Nottingham.

The trial continues.

AS PEOPLE struggled to stay on their feet during the recent cold snap, foot care specialist A. Algeo sprung into action.

The 129-year-old Speke company saw a spike in online sales of "ice traction" devices such as Spikys that can be worn over shoes to help prevent slipping in ice and snow.

But, even without this year's cold snap to boost its sales, Algeo has been performing strongly in recent years, growing its sales to the NHS and private podiatry clinics and expanding its overseas operations.

Algeo's Speke base processes 350 orders a day and last year the company turned over pounds 6.4m.

And, as a company that focuses on the healthcare sector and deals largely with the NHS, managing director George Jones is more than satisfied with Algeo's continued growth during the recession.

"Our sales up to the end of August, 2009, were up 23% year on year," said Jones.

"We're currently running at 17% up year on year.

"NHS budgets are probably set to 2011/12. There will always be a need for these products."

Northern Irish-born John Algeo founded a leather dealing business in Liverpool in 1881. His son, Arthur, founded the company that today bears his name in 1947.

Algeo was taken over by the Swanson family in the late 1950s before it was bought by the John Joseph Trust in 1990 and management transferred to current chairman, Alan Sheridan.

Algeo had focused on selling to the shoe repair trade, but Mr Sheridan and his family led the firm's expansion into the orthopaedics, podiatry and medical appliance sectors.

Its orthotics and prosthetics division focuses mainly on the supply of insoles. The majority of its sales are to the NHS.

"We'll probably do about pounds 2m of insole sales this year," said Jones.

"That's our biggest area of growth, and has been for some time.

"We have the best selection of insoles probably in the world, certainly in the UK."

Algeo also supplies cushioning foams, leathers and other materials to hospitals and health centres so they can make their own bespoke insoles for patients.

"In the past, if you had some sort of foot problem, the first step would be some sort of manual process - a foot impression box," said Jones.

"In simple terms, you stand in Dunhill Fake it and it makes an impression of your foot. Resin would then be used to make a model of your foot, and a solution to your foot problem would be built around that.

"That's changed in the last five years as people have gone down the computer-aided design route. They'll now use a scanner to capture a perfect image of the foot and use a milling machine to cut out a perfect insole based on those requirements."

Algeo also sells raw materials to shoe manufacturers - Jones proudly references the fact that the company boasts 14,000 items in its inventory control system.

Algeo has broadened the range of products it offers to podiatrists.

That range goes far beyond insoles to include all a podiatrist could need in their surgery, from chairs to blades.

The company employs two clinical podiatrists - one
