    Unbelievably tough read in the BE RED programme this afternoon. I didn't expect the big man to go so in depth and in detail about the awful illness he's battling.
    Always loved him when he was here and I felt a little teary reading that interview and when he was on the pitch at half time.

    Good luck next week with the op, Goose.

    A good five pages or so and genuinely goes right to the nitty gritty. Brave and inspirational of him. If anyone can beat that disease, it's Angus.

    It was good to see him even if I couldn't hear him very well. Best wishes Angus.

    The best bit was when they asked him which team he thought would win. The poor lad. Talk about putting him on the spot.

    That was good, as was the reaction from the Ponty when he answered. His condition puts things into perspective but you have to admire his attitude towards winning his battle.

    Nice touch by the club. Not sure you’re allowed to say that like as they are dead inside blood suckers apparently.

    Sold them some programmes.

    (That's not actually my view, I was just helping you play devil's advocate).

    Considering Hull still owe the club for the purchase of Angus, I'm sure the owners know of him. But I imagine the comms team behind the programme are the ones who got the interview and invited Angus to the game. It's a nice touch by them, as you say.
