Stiliyan Petrov

[GP]

Has been diagnosed with luikemia.

Awful news.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bloody hell.

:(

[Marc Overmars]

Hope he gets well soon.

[fakeyank]

Get Well Soon!

Whats up with these young active sports person getting all these killer diseases? If after being so fit, they are going down like flies, we average joes stand no chance! :(

[Coney]

There is no link between fitness and Lukemia.

Does this mean he has to do the bone marrow thing where they zap him with radiation to kill his own cells off and then give him fresh bone marrow?

[Thierrymon]

Really sad news. I used to see him a fair bit in the west end of glasgow when he played for Celtic. Always came across as a nice guy.

Hope he gets better.

[Injury Time]

does it say which type?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

does it say which type?

Acute. Though I think there are different types of that too, right. Can't find anything that specifies which one it is.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

He retired today.

Very sad.

[Marc Overmars]

He looks so different now.

Great that he's on the mend though, good luck to him.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Glad he is on the mend. Ironically, cancers can be much more virulent on young otherwise healthy people.
