Huss was polite, generous and non-judgemental. Big Issue vendor, Aaron Austin paints a portrait of a man from the war-torn country of Somalia who, despite his violent upbringing, was kind to everyone who crossed his path. A soccer fan and storyteller, Huss was taken from Aaron when he was stabbed in the doorway of his flat in 2007.
