Terrible news!

One of my favourite players as well. Great personality and his enthusiasm for playing was one of his major assets.
So sad.

This is extremely sad news. An absolute legend of football both as a player and a manager.

I know a few Toon fans and he's seen as a god-like figure up there.

I wish him and his family the best. Would love it if he can somehow beat this diagnosis.
