ACCRINGTON Stanley captain Peter Cavanagh has turned detective in a desperate bid to find his brother's killer.

He has set up a special website full of clues in a bid to jog people's memories about the night his brother was killed six months after police launched a fruitless hunt for the man who attacked him.

Anthony Cavanagh was viciously assaulted in Liverpool city centre while on a night out in September.

The site, called "Justice for Anthony", contains CCTV images, photographs and police appeals in a bid to jolt someone's memory about the incident.

Anthony Cavanagh, 22, was on shore leave from the Royal Navy, enjoying a night out, when he was assaulted inside a bar. He died later in hospital. Police in the city have launched a murder investigation but six months later are no nearer to finding the culprit.

Last month Stanley manager John Coleman dedicated the Reds' historic title win to the memory of Anthony and members of the side wore t-shirts with Anthony's picture when they picked up the Conference trophy.

But now the website has been created in a bid to find who was responsible for the attack, but also to act as a memorial for the young sailor.

As well as the CCTV images and police appeals there are also pictures of Anthony on the night out along with passages written by his mother Patricia.

Peter, 24, said: "We are just hoping to jog a few people's memories and hope to help the investigation but what is important that the website is also a permanent memorial to him. We don't want him to be forgotten and we have to fight for justice."

The right back added: "Tony was a very popular guy.

"He made an impression on everyone he met, even if you only knew him for a day you were his friend. He was one of those bubbly people."

Anthony was on a night out on September 24, when he accidentally bumped into a drinker inside the Walkabout bar in the Liverpool's Concert Square.

He put his hands up to apologise but was felled by a single blow which knocked him unconscious.

Anthony was in intensive care at the Walton Neurological Centre for 11 days before he died from his injuries.

DCI Paul Richardson is leading the investigation into Anthony's death.

He said: "Anthony Cavanagh was the victim of an unprovoked attack and I would urge anyone who witnessed the assault, or who has any information which could help with our inquiries to come forward."

Former Liverpool player Peter joined Accrington after being released by the Merseyside club in August 2001.

He went on to become the youngest and most successful captain, collecting five trophies in his first two seasons.

He also plays for the England National Game 11, a select squad of non-league players.
