What a retort, nearly as sad as going on tele as you and your partners teams are playing one another at Wembley

[Jenny]

But not half as sad as trawling back 7 years to try and get personal with someone for having an opinion on an Internet forum.

Ive got sympathy with anyone with a serious illness jenny footballer or not,hope you never have to experience it

[Jenny]

I have sympathy too, having lost several loved ones to cancer and other illnesses. My point was that my sympathy levels don't waver depending on whether that person is a football or not. It makes it no less or more sad. I wouldn't say it puts football into perspective, it simply puts life into perspective and shows that cancer has no boundaries, you can be fit, healthy, young, old, fat, thin... It doesn't distinguish.

I remember James Hunt, very fit, ex racing driver, died of a heart attack aged 40.
