Survival rate for sufferers of acute leukemia is said be 30-40%. Come on lad, fight through! A good captain, but a great man.

Yeah, bloody hell. This is a killer alright.

Thoughts are with him.

Beat this bugger Stan.

Shocked.

Awful awful news. A real unsung hero at the club, incredibly popular amongst playing and non-playing staff.

And in this day of flash 'geezas' in the game, a totally geniune bloke.

Here's to a speedy and full recovery Stan.
