Nemesis 277 Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 News coming out of Everton that his young son Jack is going through a Leukemia battle. Solid player for us and always gave everything. Wishing them the best in this horrible time and I'm sure Gary will learn that 'once a bear always a bear' is very true. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

McEwan's Lager 30,522 Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 Horrible to hear. Does he still stay out in Australia? I remember hearing once that he had moved out there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inigo 32,526 Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 Ah fuck. Best wishes to them. Hope the wee man gas a speedy return to health. P.s. Gary was a fair bit more than solid. Class fullback. (And occasional CB, as the sheep found out in 91!) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tannerall 25,935 Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 Just goes to show that, at the end of the day, and for all the praise or abuse we give them, footballers players are just as human as the rest of us, and mainly have the same concerns. Hope the wee guy pulls through. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

British_Empire 9,648 Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 Like the guy above, saw a friend of mine's wee boy go through this a few years ago. Blood transfusions, bone marrow transplants and all sorts of other intense treatments, on someone so young and little (seems to be particular with children this disease) with sometimes no end in sight. Would not wish it on anyone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
