Poor lad. Rotten news. Absolutely stuck for something useful to say. Really sorry.

Shocking news and only 29 didn’t realise motor neurone struck people so young or has he just been very unlucky,another disease which I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy...

Awful news for them both. Hope they both enjoy all the time they have together, let’s hope he is comfortable.

Just catching up on this news & thread. That really is an absolute tragedy to read about, at his age with 2 young ‘uns. As @Damocles points out, they won’t be ‘set up for life’ based on their incomes from the sport. For Steph to have to come out and play could be pretty stressful - I’d hope the club will offer her some compassionate leave if she wants it.

Abroad and watched the match in a bar.
Just logged in to have a rant and saw this news. Won't bother- puts things in perspective.

Terrible to hear. I saw her say that her goal was for Ste but I didn’t know the extent of the issue. In America this is often referred to as “Lou Gehrig’s disease” since it ended his baseball career — he was one of the best players of all time. He died less than two years after it forced him to retire.

Joining in the chorus of folks saying that I hope City does something for them. I’ve no doubt they will assist in some capacity with his medical care but they’ll need a lot more than that to get through this.
