Wawrinka 88 Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Hard to watch, really hard. Some of his quotes were as inspirational as you'll find. To say he's happier now than when he was a player. What a man.On a slight tangent, Fernando, Barry, Boydy, and even Buffel really portrayed Le Guen in a negative light Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcb 1,167 Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Couldn't help but draw a lot of similarities with Gazza when some of the stories were being told, would have been interesting if they two were ever in the same team Never mind the same team, the same city would be enough. In the words of Tommy Lee "we're not here for a long time so we should be here for a good time" Fernando has certainly had many good times.Tommy Lee was of course married to both Heather Locklear & Pamela Anderson so may have had an advantage over most of us.

Clemdog 39,389 Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Just a heads up that it's now available to watch on Sky Go. Sad, yet inspiring, with some laughs to boot. It really was a great watch. Thinking back to that game, it was the first time since that day I saw a clip of him falling over, I've been to hundreds of games, but I don't think I've heard a roar as loud as when he got back to his feet. He's some man. No Surrender Fernando! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoldierBlue1 499 Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Starts at 10.30 Many thanks for posting. I shed a few tears on the day and again while watching it. I just wish they hadn't shown him falling. God bless Fernando Ricksen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaudrupsPatrickBoots 13,507 Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Had this recorded and only got round to watching it today. Had to fight back tears more than once, heartbreaking even watching him trying to speak.Not sure if it's been mentioned in the thread already but actually have a lot more respect for Kris Boyd now after seeing how angry he still seems after all this time at PLG's handling of that situation and treatment of Ricksen.

IanFerguson2013 393 Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 I agree with others, it's a ghastly disease. I worked with a man who did his best to come to work and do his job as long as he could though in the end he was defeated. You can't tell what will be affected so you can carry on for years but if your ability to breath is compromised you get an early release.Hopefully Fernando does not suffer a long lingering degeneration. A great Ranger who entertained us all over and over again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammer93 15,023 Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 I watched it tonight and the last 5 mins had me in tears, some great stories from some great players from the past.Stay strong Fernando as the Rangers family are right behind your fight.

nemisis 358 Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Starts at 10.30 Don't know about the time, I watched it at half eleven :-) All joking aside this is a man and more than that a Rangers man. No Surrender Fernando. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammer time 653 Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 difficult to watch at times with plenty of happy memories also, the moment when he fell at the tribute game and the crowd just fell silent straight away then broke into a massive roar when he got back up was sad but fantastic at the same time. his old teammates must have some unbelievable stories to tell many that can't be broadcast no doubt, keep fighting Fernando someone has to be the first to beat the illness so let it be you Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
