Makes one realise just how precious life is.
Doesn't it just? PFA, what's the point?
I’m surprised they haven’t been of more help. They have been absolutely wonderful with my son. When he suffered a career ending injury they paid literally thousands of pounds for one of the world’s leading knee surgeons to operate on him and although he’s no longer in the pro game he is potentially fit enough four years later to be playing again. Plus they have supported him with a bursary to do a degree. They are not all bad.

I'm genuinely pleased to hear that Fred and I wish your lad well but, with respect your son had a 'fixable' problem, mental anguish notwithstanding so the PFA would have a good idea what the financial outlay was going to be (the bursary is a great idea) but with Brendan Ormsby the poor man could linger in this state for years in need of constant care which, IMO makes the PFA shy away very quickly. They were quick enough to take his money in his playing days I would imagine. Perhaps it's my cynicism has me thinking this way I don't know.
Didn't Ken McNaught have problems with them fairly recently regarding heart surgery of some kind? Anyway, it's good to hear your lad is playing again and also has a life's plan. I'm afraid that by the sounds of it, poor old Brendan hasn't. The buckets will show the true spirit of football supporters as it always does when matters of this kind arise. Get well soon Brendan.
