Dollymarie Posted December 16, 2016 Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 Figured this little man deserved his own thread. He's got terminal cancer and his family has been told that further treatment won't be effective. So they're trying to make the most of the time he has left. He was a mascot at this weeks game. Various things are happening amongst the football community to give this little man the best time he can have in the time he has. Including sending him thousands of Christmas cards and trying to get him to win "goal of the month" for the penalty he took at this weeks game.

Hampshire reds Posted December 16, 2016 Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 That's brilliant you have done this. I saw it on facebook and it brought tears to my eyes. What a lovely lad he is and it must be a heart breaking time for his family keep strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norn Iron Posted December 16, 2016 Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 Sky Sports News did a feature on Bradley. 5 minutes into the game, there was a minute's round of applause. The video screens showed his shirt name and number (5). When Football Clubs give their time and £10 (cost price) for a replica shirt, the after affects are priceless. Anyone who doesn't get emotionally touched by this story and others such as Yeovil Town's Daryl (http://www.itv.com/news/westcountry/2016-11-03/13-year-old-signs-for-yeovil-town-just-for-one-day/) and our very own Oskar need to change jobs. May I suggest MI5 or a prison officer in North Korea? My two job suggestions are based on the fact that you cannot have any emotion when doing these occupations.

handsofclay Posted December 16, 2016 Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 When I was driving home from the Gate on Tuesday I remarked to my friend about that five year old who died in Santa's arms. It put everything into perspective and made us feel so very fortunate that we have lived a decent length of time. Suddenly a one nil home defeat to the Bees seemed so inconsequential. We should always keep this in mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tweeted Mark Little to see if he could arrange to send a signed shirt by all our players to Bradley (similar to Blackburn Rovers) but have not received a reply. I have posted a Christmas card to him. Perhaps someone involved with the Hospice committee can arrange something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been following this young ones story over the last 6 months or so and I'm not too manly to admit that when I found out he had been given 2 months I shed a tear. Really hoped this would have a happy ending. So sad... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanterne Rouge Posted December 16, 2016 Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 Keep strong little man. I`m going round to see my niece and nephew tomorrow to drop their presents on the way up to AG and I am so grateful that they are both healthy kids and not going through what this poor chap is. Things like this are wonderful when clubs go the extra mile. So many do it and get no credit whatsoever but it means so much to boys and girls who are suffering from these horrible diseases.

BS4 on Tour... Posted December 16, 2016 Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 This is such a heartbreaking reality - what a wonderful little boy....Sunderland have been brilliant with him and his Mum's Facebook post when all hope evaporated just left me blubbing.

bristolcitysweden Posted December 19, 2016 Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 It's very hard to accept that a five year old should just fade away. Especially as the industry knows close to nothing about cancer. Surely there must be alternatives in well recognized institutions. You don't get the best treatment in the world in Hartlepool do you. With all footballers involved money should not be a problem. I loudly cry out for help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems to fly in the face of everyone's opinion of footballers, and I would say in LJs terms, he has the right DNA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
