Get well big O

Terrible news. Wish you a full and total recovery soon Brendan.

Very sorry to hear that. I wish him a speedy recovery to full health. Any idea of the density of the stroke?
-
Blimey, that's bad news; I used to get my hair cut at the same place as Brendan in Lozells Road. Get well soon.
-
Tony Morley mentioned this during the Swansea game on December 28th and I commented on it during the match thread - I hope Brendan's recovery goes well and best wishes to him .
-
Get well big O
Having read Ian Snodin's book apparently big O genuinely is a big lad! On the more serious note of his illness I hope he makes a full recovery asap. Villa fan as a kid and brought up near the ground I believe.
-
Good luck with a healthy recovery Brendan.

Good luck with a healthy recovery Brendan.
Yes and from me. Take any medical advice they offer and act on it.

Get well soon Brendan you were one of those players who never gave less than 100% and never let yourself or the club down speedy recovery big fella
-
Met him as a kid on one of the Cheltenham Branch's Supporters nights - Great bloke, really approachable - get well soon Brendan.
-
Blimey, that's bad news; I used to get my hair cut at the same place as Brendan in Lozells Road. Get well soon.
Shudders to think what your hair was like. ;)
Wishing Brendan all the best and a full recovery.
-
Blimey, sorry to hear, he can`t be that old, all the best Brendan mate.
-
Get well soon Brendan.

Hope he gets all the help he needs. Obviously don't know the background to his situation, but one of the side effects of thyroid disorders, if left untreated, can be a stroke. It's often difficult to diagnose thyroid disorders because the symptoms can be vague and/or similar to other illnesses.

Met Brendan at Elland Road a few years back. A postie in Leeds. Nice guy.
He was a CB that would have suited the game today - assured and confident on the ball as well as hard as nails.
Let's hope for a full recovery, although my experience of strokes is that the sufferer usually has some impairment. Good luck, Big Man.
-
I also met Brendan at Elland Road, before a friendly. He sorted me out with tickets.
A good, honest, player who I wish a full recovery to.
-
Get well soon big man
-
Hope you have a speedy recovery Brendan. Always grateful for Brendan attending our club fundraiser at The Fox & Grapes Pensnett in 1986 along with David Norton and Ray Walker.
-
All the best for a full recovery Brendan.
-
Good luck brendan
-
This is really sad news. Brendan was one of my best mates at school and as mentioned in earlier posts, was a local lad and diehard Villa fan. Get well soon Big man.
-
Sad to hear,I really hope Brendan makes a good recovery from this.
-
Indeed get well soon big man!

Get well soon Brendan

Former Leeds United captain Brendan Ormsby, who suffered a stroke just before Christmas, is battling back by setting his sights set on a new goal - competing in a Leeds 10k run this summer.
Yorkshire Evening Post columnist Ormsby,53, is recovering in hospital in York following the stroke on December 22 – just a day after attending Leeds United’s clash with Barnsley at Elland Road.
The condition of Ormsby, who played 57 matches in all competitions for Leeds between 1986-90, has improved in the past week. Scores of United supporters have tweeted their thoughts, wishing the ex-centre-half a speedy recovery.
The ex centre-half, who led Leeds to the FA Cup semi-final and Division Two play-offs in 1986-87, is now focusing on his rehabilitation, with his own cup final coming on July 20 when he, wife Wendy, son Liam and his girlfriend Marianne hope to compete in the Jane Tomlinson Run for All Leeds 10k in aid of the Stroke Association.
Wendy said: “We were talking about it the other night and the four of us are going to do the Jane Tomlinson 10K run in July as a focus and goal for him. It’s a while away, but something to aim for. Brendan didn’t have any choice when he asked him and he just nodded his head!”
On her husband’s condition, she added: “He is improving and getting better and stronger every day.
“Physically, he is doing a lot better. But it is obviously going to take time.
“We’d just like to thank everybody for thinking and worrying about him.
“As a family, we are very thankful for all the good wishes and Brendan is. We are aware of all the well-wishers.”
Ormsby, who worked as a postman in Moortown after retiring from football,
writes the Ask Ormsby column for the sports section of the YEP.
Just an update from the Yorkshire Evening Post on how Brendan's recovering.
