Gutted for Stan and his family, but he's still young and fit. and hopefully will get through this. All the best mate

[AV82EC]

Jesus only just found out as phone ran out of battery and just got in from work.  Thoughts to Stan and his family.

Stay strong and fight Stan, we're all with you.

[Fergal]

I just wanted this horrible season to end, for the shit on the pitch was getting to me.  Fuck that I don't care about it just get well soon Stan.

[TaxDodger]

Can only the echo the words of others. Get well soon Stan.

[Sister of Top Cat]

I'm stunned and can only echo everyone's sentiments - get well soon Stan.  We're all thinking of you

[Karlos96]

Stunned when I heard this, Get well soon Stan I know you can beat it.

[preston28]

Absolutely agree - all the shit this season pales into insignificance with this news!

The season is secondary.

Its all about Stan beating this illness. You can do it mate.

My daughter has always had a huge crush on Stan and when the club visited Columbus last year he was fantastic with her. A real genuine nice guy, took time out to have pics taken with her and was really interested in making her day. She still has those pics posted up on her wall and was hoping to add to them in Chicago.
Good luck Stan, I have seen acute Leukemia beaten and know that you can beat it too.

[Greg N'Ash]

My first thought was "wtf are we gonna do now?" Not the right reaction but  shows what sort of pro he is when we're still relying on him when he should be winding down his career.  Wish him the best and i'm sure he knows everyone connected with the club is thinking about him and his family.

[Summers]

I text my mate with the news and his reaction was the same as yours Greg. "We're fucked." was his exact words.. and, uh, let's be honest, kinda right.

[Louzie0]

I heard this a couple of hours ago on my way home, on the news in the car.  I'm saying, good luck, Stiliyan and I hope this has been caught as early as possible for you.   

[trog]

everything else is pale in significance. get well soon stan utv

[frankmosswasmyuncle]

Back from work late and only just picked this up.
Stunned that such a hard working player and captain has been carrying on with such an illness.
It speaks volumes for his character.
Get well soon Stan!

[Axl Rose]

Fight it Stan! My heart is with you and your family. Get better my friend!
