Title: FAO those who feel football has lost touch with reality... Post by: Doore on Tuesday, September 15, 2009, 00:06:34 ... read this blog by Paul Fletcher on the BBC, if you've not done already. Football still does have a human side.

Brilliant article.

I cant tell you how much I respect the way him and his immediate family have dealt with the upheaval in their life that this has caused, practically living in hospitals dealing with a constant battery of drugs and treatments. I can only hope that he comes through it. To be struck with this at the age of 5, or indeed any age, is terrible and I feel full sympathy to the chap for his loss and for playing his way through it. And good for the Yeovil fans showing their respects as well. I'd hope we would do the same.
Shankly wasn't serious when he said football is more important than life. Its not. Title: Re: FAO those who feel football has lost touch with reality... Post by: Mexicano Rojo on Wednesday, September 16, 2009, 08:30:20 good read. lets sign him :)
