LondonBristolian Posted May 30, 2022 Report Share Posted May 30, 2022 Sheesh. That's really sad. An absolute fixture of football during my childhood. He seemed like one of these players who had been around and would be around forever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thoughts are with him just now as someone who is about to start cancer treatment. As a keeper Andy was relatively short 5. 10, I believe, which is remarkable compared to some of the giants that keep goal now.

There's a very useful book I read called Anti-Cancer which helped me a few years back. I didn't have a cancer but I have an autoimmune condition that was life threatening at the time. The book is all about mobilising your own immune system to fight illness (not just cancer) so was very helpful for me. Felt like I got a bit of control back which was very empowering. I thoroughly recommend it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the way with all sport, from heavyweight boxers to tennis players. Average height of elite athletes increasing. I wish you all the best with your treatment, SR. I hope you come out the other side unscathed and never have to face the sort of prognosis poor Andy has been given. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottishRed Posted June 1, 2022 Report Share Posted June 1, 2022 Really appreciate all your best wishes fellow reds. On top of losing my 21 year old son in September this has come as another body blow. However, we fight on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
