It only seems a few years ago he was a hot prospect at Manchester United. Sad news.

RIP

He was only diagnosed in November - in an reassuring way, assuming he knew he had mere months, it gave him precious time to 'say goodbye'. How few of us will have that opportunity when our time comes?

Awful news, I remember him being signed by Sir Alex and dubbing him the Roy Keane replacement. Had a good career with Celtic and Sunderland. RIP
