David Silva - official statement

[mancunial]

I went everyday to visit Justin totnesblue, the ward was full and that was back in 96, they came to me and said we need you to sign these forms to operate straight away,also if successful to try him out on out a new drug, I obviously signed no other option but I would have done anyway, a lot of the time it is down to the baby to pull through, when they did the operation because he had an hole in his upper bowel I looked at the scar which was about less than an inch I look at it now because of his size it’s like a sharks had him which we joke about, but moving on 21 years later the development in care and observation must be be immense than back then so here’s praying and hoping for the best ending to this story

We love you David. Best wishes you you and your family. Desperately hoping everything turns out well, and we can see a healthy Mateo in your arms as City mascot in the coming years.

Who gives a toss about football

Life and family are much more important.

Best wishes to David and his family.

Hope you now understand why I have kept schtum.
It's not like he had a knock on his ankle.
As someone has said, it's a measure of the man he has still shown commitment to the team throughout.
He has conducted some Captain type talks and kept himself in trim by training daily courtesy of his friends at FC Valencia.
He flew back for the Newcastle game and within 2 hours he was on a return flight.
He will be touched by all your supportive messages.
Mateo will be fine if he shows the same fight his Dad does on the pitch.

I’m sure you will wish him well from all of us on here. I’d like to thank you by keeping quiet on here as there were calls for you to tell us the reason why David was missing.

Congratulations to David and his partner... hopefully his son will be fine... family is more important than football at a time like this.

I had so much respect for this guy as a person before but now my respect levels for him has gone up even more. To play under these circumstances and to give man of the match performances says a lot. All the best with your son and your family at this difficult time.

Amazing David could play at all in such circumstances, let alone brilliantly. What a professional, what a man. Family should always come first, so all the best to you David and your family and God bless Mateo.
