[whitewidow]

[Tosh]

But will he still be able to ride a bike??

John is a lovely fella, not like his persona on the pitch. I wish him all the luck in the world

[Ostrich Man]

[Dmitch]

Thats a bit s*** like... hope he makes it!

[New York Red]

Check your knackers boys. It's essential. Particularly if you are in your 20's.

[Raj]

I check them everyday and I'm in my 30's

[Red Kent]

It's not good when you hear things like this, hope he recovers.

[Mono]

Fight the good fight John.

[Crazy Horse]

That's really terrible news. Hope he recovers fully.

 

(although he's now on the post-it note I keep by my desk with my shortlist of candidates for the 2010 deathpool thread)

[cymrococh]

Horrible news this, bit of a minor legend in my mind is Big John.

 

Incredibly effective footballer when used correctly, I was still holding out hope of him joining Swansea for one last season of glory.

[uppsala]

Good luck john,he is a 100% fighter all the best.

[AE]

Latest news updates suggets it is also in his lungs.

With spread like that things are not looking good, but John is definately a fighter

Here's hoping for a full recovery.

[ManxRed]

Doesn't look good from what's on the BBC site.

 

Terrible shame.

[cymrococh]

Latest news updates suggets it is also in his lungs.

Sh*t.

[Flasher]

34 years old! These things seem to scare you even more when you're the same age.

 

Good luck John, hope you pull through.

[Jarg Armani]

Terrifying, frankly.

[fyds]

I hope he pulls through, but realistically it now seems unlikely. Very sad news.

[Boca]

Sad news, especially considering treatment for testicular cancer is so successful if caught early.

 

Went for a medical lately and it was the first time I was told what to look out for when checking down there - and I'm 35.
