Sean Cahill - so this is where he went...
Discussion
Just read this on the australian news website...
Sean was a bloke who was bringing into the UK a white ute... and then just everything went quiet, and just seemed to disappear.. He turned up at the ace once, in a car shaped like a boat.
THE brother of Socceroo Tim Cahill was tonight extradited to Britain to face court over an assault that left a man blinded in one eye.
Sean Cahill, 28, left the United Kingdom just weeks before he was to face trial for his alleged involvement in a taxi rank brawl at Bromley, Kent, on July 11, 2004.
Mr Cahill was arrested in Sydney by New South Wales Police on March 9 at the request of UK authorities.
He was being held in custody in Sydney's Parklea Prison until today when he was given to authorities handling his extradition, a Corrective Services (CS) spokesman said.
"They were planning to escort him on a plane to the United Kingdom," the CS spokesman said.
Mr Cahill's extradition had been approved by Justice Minister David Johnston on April 11, a department spokesman said today.
A British newspaper report said the 28-year-old fight victim had lost sight in one eye and had to undergo extensive dental treatment following the punch-up.
Mr Cahill and his younger brother Tim, a midfielder for the Liverpool-based English Premier League club Everton, had been in a Bromley nightclub, Delanos, on the evening of the alleged assault, the report said.
Sean Cahill was arrested and charged with assault with intent in February 2005.
He pleaded not guilty in Croydon Crown Court in April that year and a trial date was set for May 25.
But British police obtained an arrest warrant on May 5 when it was discovered that Mr Cahill had left the country.

Yeah, think he just did a runner completely from the cops...
Bit hard to judge what exactly happened, and probably wouldn't have done what he did given the circumstances I don't think that he would have intentionally done it.
He might have been completely innocent in it all. God knows i have almost been involved in a couple of fights, and had I been a different sort of fella would have knocked some of them out as well.
