West_Side 1,571 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 All the best fernando. Is this a beatable thing or will he have it for the rest of his days?For life I'm afraid. Usually only takes a few years, though there are exceptions, like Stephen Hawking who's had it for about 50 years.This is really terrible news though, he was one of my favourite players when I was younger. I hope he knows that every Rangers fan is behind him in his fight.*EditApparently the median time from onset to death is 39 months. 4% of people survive longer than 10 years.

gogzy 31,195 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 You think the club might arange a friendly or testimonial type match, and give the proceeds to helping him?Possibly too early for that? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
