pcbear 10,913 Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Just seen that on newsnow Rangers, it would be so easy for him to shut himself in and do nothing accepting the inevitable but its not the Ricksen way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He cites Stephen Hawking as someone who was given a few years to live with Motor Neuron Disease but is well into his 70's now so I'm not giving up hope just yet.

Malvern 11,329 Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Fernando Ricksen, legend of a man in how he has handled his condition and a great player too. Can't believe he will be there tomorrow, only good thing is I know the Bears will give the man his welcome that only our fans can. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CF2 WINNIE 1,006 Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 He’s a mental fucker genuinely off his head, don’t think he’d have had as much fight if he wasn’t as mental as a player. No surrender FR2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

livibear101 248 Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Definetly highlight of the day was the reception he got out of the tunnel puts each and every player in that dressing room to shame, a true bear with all the fight in the world!

saltire266 502 Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 I could greet every time looking at that picture ! A man that would burst his gut to make sure we won. A man that got on a plane in his condition and sat in the freezing cold watching a team full of spineless cowards jump out of tackles and accept second best. A pat on the back no doubt in the suite from another spineless cunt that was so desperate to get a blazer. Your contribution has never been forgotten Fernando , The only man worthy of standing next to you in your chair today would be Sandy Jardine keep fighting always x Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbm26896 995 Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 It was heartbreaking to see him watching the game from the Ibrox Suite. Makes you thankful for what you’ve got . Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkle 53,527 Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Just awful to see what MND does to a person, tears in my eyes seeing him yesterday. I was just reading online about his visit there, some of the comments are subhuman. "I dont think Fernando should be rocking up to these games in his condition. puts everyone on a downer, and its embarrassing for him, I think he's had a testimonial and about 3 whip rounds,more than Gascoine, its a dreadful disease you would not wish on no one, but you can only thrash the **** out of a horse for so long" Unreal that a human being would have these thought never mind take the time to write them down in a public forum - whoever it was should hang his head in shame. And apparently "No Surrender Fernando Rickson" is sectarian. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bellshill_Bear 1,105 Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 seen Fernando in Primark in east kilbride. heart breaking seeing him like that I was choking to get my picture took with him but i didnt want to bother him. looks like he is in so much pain you can see it in his eyes. was happy when he noticed me looking at him and tried to say hi back. such a horrible disease.

pcbear 10,913 Posted November 19, 2017 Author Share Posted November 19, 2017 I see big Doddie Weir walked on to the park yesterday with his three boys and presented the ball to the ref before the Scotland v The All Blacks, he also suffers from MND but must still be in the early stages as he was looking great, he must look at Fernando with terror as he knows that's probably where he will be soon.
