Stephen Darby: Motor neurone disease diagnosis forces Bolton full-back to retire - http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/45561264

Just seen this on BBC sport. Really sad thing to see. A horrible condition which my late granddad sadly succumbed to many years ago and can only wish him and his friends and family all the best.

Only 29 as well. Terrible news.

An awful disease. A good friend of mine is going through it. Its just a horrible bastard of a disease.

My thoughts are with him and I hope he can be inspired by the incredible example of Paul Shrubb.

Very sad, reading the link above I saw that Lenny Johnrose also has it and is very poorly.

Terrible to get it so young.

Unfortunately I have very fresh experience of this as my Mum passed away from MND in July, it is a brutal disease and a tragedy at any age but to get it at 29! Thoughts are with him and his family!
