News being broken that Dylan Tombides, the West Ham striker who has battled testicular cancer since 2011, has passed away. The link to the BBC story is below:

I have to say I'm not impressed with the fact that the BBC isn't covering this more. A man battles cancer, loses that battle, and all they can talk about is the PFA shortlist?

Very disappointed about that.
 
The price of fame - if Dylan had been better known, he'd have received more publicity, simples.

Tragic, but the media will ignore it due to his low profile.

RIP
 
To be fair, R5Live did mention the lad's death a couple times today.

Welcome Norfstander, hope you enjoy the forums.

Just remember one thing - "YOU'LL NEVER TAKE THE KIPPAX!!!" :grin:
