God I can still remember him as part of Heighways final youth crop with Hammil, Anderson, Threlfall and Miki Roque (RIP). Such horrible news for the lad at such a young age. All I can hope is that he gets the best possible treatment and can slow the illness for as long as possible. It's one of the most cruel of illnesses. I mean seeing what it's done to Fernando Ricksen is just so heartbreaking. Honestly my thoughts are with the lad and his family.
