Lenny Johnrose
Came across really well - Very pragmatic about his diagnosis which must be the most terrible news to take in?
The 20 minute debate in the supermarket sounded very interesting
Naturally as I’m sure everyone else does in our pneonline community does I offer him my very best of thoughts

Very sad news and upsetting to listen to. Hope he fights and fights and gets the chance to spend a lot more time with his children.

Was posted earlier on the former players thread. Can we merge them?
Desperately sad to read that interview, brought a lump to the throat when he mentioned his children. Keep fighting, Lenny.

Very brave facing this horrendous disease head on as are all the other unfortunate sufferers of it.

I am shocked, it's a disease that shows no mercy. very very sad to read about it.
Got to say gutted for the bloke AND his family. I know first hand what impact on families this and similar diseases can have.
Prayers and best wishes to him and his family.

3 kids and a wife... gutting. Read the interview on bbc website earlier this week.
All strength to the bloke. Hope he manages to stay as 'happy' as it's possible to be in the circumstances.

I played in Len's golf day on Friday and had a good chat with him - he's a truly amazing and inspirational guy and I'm proud to call him a mate...horrible, horrible disease,

Not sure when it's released but you can order from https://www.lenjohnrosetrust.com/ he said he was already on with a second one👍
It's truly awful disease. I used to play against our ex player Brian Taylor every week on the old plastic pitch. he was a very fit forty something at the time, and he got it. He didn't last very long unfortunately.
Very sad.

I played against Lenny at U15s / U16s level (as well as both Jemson and Kelly Jnr amongst others that that I know of).
Met him in Yates one night, introduced myself as a PNE fan and asked him about knobling Gregan.
His reply?
"Stan told me to take him out early and I'm not going to argue with Stan..."
Best of luck Lenny x
