Marcus Stewart

[Medium Wave]

Apologies if this has already been mentioned but BBC Sport is reporting that Marcus Stewart has been diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease.
I know he hardly played for us but he's not that old and faces a dreadful fate just like Lenny Johnrose's

Horrible condition.

All the best to Marcus.

We need a cure for this ,MND is a horrible condition, keep positive Marcus.

My grandma died of this is in 1994. A very cruel disease indeed, heartbreaking to watch your loved one deteriorate in such a manner. Love and strength to Marcus, his family and close friends.

Omg that's awful. Fucking cruel.

I echo everyone’s thoughts and best wishes above…

Best wishes to Marcus and his family…

Thinking of Marcus and his family.

There really needs to be more research done on the link between footballers and MND - the number of cases is far too high to be a mere coincidence.
