    We've just got to know a close family friend has died of cancer, a couple of days after being diagnosed. At the moment, I simply don't care if someone thinks the likes of Perkins, Done, McNulty or Wiseman are poor players or not. It really seems trivial and insignificant at the moment.
    Sorry for being such a miserable, old fart.
    Rest In Peace, Michael.

    No idea. Definitely not at work, though. Honest.

    It's heartbreaking mate, and certainly puts things into perspective. Sincere condolence to you, his friends and his family.

    Just so you know Kev, I've liked the message about perspective rather than whats happened to your pal.

    I hope that he didnt suffer and my heart goes out to the family in a really tough time when I am sure there are so many unanswered questions.

    RIP Micheal

    As someone who has had his fair share of bad times - losing family and friends at a young age -I can empathise how you are feeling right now. At some point it does gets better (I'm sure you already know that) but you do, hopefully, learn to appreciate the good times, and all that you have, all the more.

    It also makes you realise that you should appreciate and enjoy life rather than being negative about everything. You just never know what sort of terrible bad luck is around the corner. RIP.

    Lost my mother to that evil disease when I was just 8 years old.

    You have my sympathies, pal.

    Thank you everyone

    For your kind comments and condolences. Don't worry, Terry, I knew exactly where you were coming from, old mate.
    I wondered whether I should be posting non football news like this on the BBS, as some will always object. But what's done is done. Sorry for being so lugubrious, but it's just the way I am at the moment.

    Ever so sorry to hear this mate, you and yours have my sincerest condolences.

    I actually lost my mum this way about two years ago now, never has that hackneyed phrase 'putting things into perspective' been more of an understatement.

    Just noticed Greekman disliked this post, I hope he pressed that by mistake, if not he should explain why he disliked this post by kev.

    Maybe he disliked the fact that Kev's mate has passed away? (and the others "liked" the post in a Facebook like kinda way...)

    If I knew what lugubrious meant I'd agree.

    Condolences to all concerned, horrible situation.
