Good piece on what he's gone through since losing his child, apart from the paper having to bring up us..... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo.../Billy-Sharp-exclusive-Baby-Luey-fighter.html
Very moving. The mention of the Barnsley fan was totally irrelevant to the article and seemed strangely out of place in my opinion. If they really HAD to bring a negative bit up, I'd have thought the Donny fan on twitter would have been their choice. Anyway, all the best to them both.
I think that the mention of the Barnsley fan actually makes us as a club look a little better. When it was first mentioned it was that Barnsley fans were chanting and in my opinion this is what people will have remembered. That article however says A Barnsley fan. Just one. It's only one line but it makes it quite clear that the arsehole who did it was alone.
A very touching article indeed. As a parent I can't imagine the pain he and his partner went through and will still go through. I have a lot of respect for Billy Sharp for dealing with his loss in the way he did. I do wish the article hadn't brought up the moron who tried to bring so much shame on our fans. Just goes to show how some mud sticks.
We're lucky to have a comedy genius like thereev leading the way. His greatness seems to be rubbing off on us forumites.
Is this any different to anyone else who has lost a child and hasn't had it splashed over the press. Sharpe and his wife are no different to the ordinary families in the street who have lost a child. Footballers don't have the premium on grief. They don't suffer any more than the working a class family who lose a child. Losing a child is horrific for anyone.
