Claudio Reyna

[MMG]

Just read online that his son Jack passed away today afte a 3 year battle with cancer.

 

Certainly puts the last few months into perspective. As someone who recently became a father for the first time, the reality is that I'd happily give up my football team and every possession I own for my child.

 

Never really hated Reyna when he played for them. Always seemed a decent guy.

Awful news. As you say, puts everything into perspective and makes you glad you have your health.

[RUL]

That's a shocker

 

Terrible thing to say but for me I'm just glad it's not one of my kids

Shocking, but Mccoist had a fkn cheek re footballing perspective

 

Aye it's an odd add on to a comment.

 

"Losing a child at just 13 is a tragedy and puts football into perspective."

 

This would have been enough.

 

"Losing a child at just 13 is a tragedy."

 

Shame none the less.

[Nelly]

Wouldn't wish this on anyone, tragic.

 

Can't see the problem with McCoist's statement MMG & MDAL said pretty much the same.

Shouldn't matter whether it's Reyna, Bomber Brown or Fernando Ricksen. Terrible, terrible news.

[V for Vendetta]

No parent should have to suffer losing a child. What an incredibly painful experience that must be.

[OddJob]

Shouldn't matter whether it's Reyna, Bomber Brown or Fernando Ricksen. Terrible, terrible news.

Exactly. Any issues we may have had with a player during their career shouldn't matter when it comes to a family member's health

 

Bloody shame for Reyna like
