Terrible shame. Prognosis is pretty poor for this.

How quickly a healthy life can be destroyed

Just posted about this in the Banter thread.

Sad news.

Bad times, always thought he was a great player when he was at Celtic.

Terrible news

Served the Villa well

FNGsam · 30 Mar 2012 at 15:22

Oh dear

.

I feel terrible about pulling him from my FF team now. I did it before I heard this though!

afraser2k · 30 Mar 2012 at 15:26

Hope he pulls through.

Moothead2 · 30 Mar 2012 at 15:41

Going to the Villa game tomorrow, I'm sure they'll be lots of support shown by the supporters. Hope he can pull through this but not much has been said so far and so it'll be hard to guage his chances but at least we know he'll get the best care available. Muamba last week and Petrov this, not forgetting Abidals struggle with cancer last year

Also the Barca player who has a tumour or something to be removed.

Abidal might be forced to retire due to his poor health

doodah · 30 Mar 2012 at 15:54

Is he due a liver transplant?

Shocking news. God help him and his family.

Yes he is.

Damnations Fury · 30 Mar 2012 at 16:44

Sad news, my best wishes to him and his family.

Stretch · 30 Mar 2012 at 16:44

Was just about to post this. Very sad news, it's a terrible condition. All the best.

McMav · 30 Mar 2012 at 17:22

Hope he can beat this and make a full recovery.

Grimley · 30 Mar 2012 at 17:27

Poor bloke, I hope they caught it in time & he recovers.

No1newts · 30 Mar 2012 at 17:33

He'll be guaranteed the best care with the money he has so hopefully he can pull through.

Good luck Petrov

He had one a few days ago apparently.

Edit: Hmm, I may be wrong.

Best of luck to Stan. A truly great player for my club.
