Ric Flair Posted 8 June 2006 Share Posted 8 June 2006 I saw Levein or what looked very much like him getting in to a convertible Audi straight after the Plymouth home game (I wonder what he was doing there?) unless it wasn't him, but he had all the mannerisms and looked exactly like him. Has anyone seen Rob Kelly in this morning Sun? He's in there with those 3 little lads from Leics who have that awful brain disease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicester Lass Posted 8 June 2006 Share Posted 8 June 2006 http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2-2006260465,00.html THE devastated parents of three young boys hit by a killer brain disease were told yesterday that a SECOND son had started to deteriorate rapidly. Only an emergency bone marrow transplant can now save Connor Smith, eight. The soccer-loving youngster has the same rare genetic illness — ALD — as his two younger brothers Callum and Jack. So far only Callum, six, had shown symptoms. But now a scan has shown that it is “aggressively” damaging Connor’s brain. Hope ... but boys face fight The crushing blow came as parents Nicola, 26, and Scott, 28, were told Callum’s form of the disease was too advanced for a transplant to help. But there was some hope for five-year-old Jack — scans showed he has so far been spared. Nicola wept as she said: “Connor’s scan is bad. He urgently needs a transplant. “I asked the doctor, ‘Can we save him?’ and he replied, ‘I think we can but we have to act quickly. We’re praying he can find a donor.” He scores ... Leicester boss sees ball hit net Connor — who won the heart of David Beckham during a recent meeting with the England World Cup squad — had shown NONE of the telltale signs. The family expected the results of the brain scans in two weeks. But Dr Colin Steward, the UK’s top ALD expert, rushed them through in less than 24 hours. Nicola said: “The scan shows that Connor has an aggressive form of the disease. None of us can believe it because he looks so well — even the doctor seemed surprised.” Kickabout ... trying to put ball past Rob The mum, who broke down at the news, said: “This is more than anybody should be asked to bear. Only recently Connor did really well in his school SAT tests. We felt very hopeful that the brain damage had not started.” Just hours before the terrible news, the boys played football with Rob Kelly, manager of their home town team Leicester City. He surprised them with a visit after being moved by their story. ANYBODY wishing to make a donation can send a cheque payable to the: Connor, Callum and Jack Fund, c/o 17 Whitteney Drive North, Eyres, Monsell, Leicester LE2 9AN.

Daggers Posted 9 June 2006 Share Posted 9 June 2006 Gary Linekar in the Private Shop buying some saucy mags to pep up his bedroom antics with Michelle. He told me she likes him to dress up like the Jolly Green Giant and go "Ho ho ho". This is because Bianca Jagger says a woman should be a Ho in the bedroom.

As with blood donation and other transplants, you have to be the right type (in this case you'd need the right tissue type).

Credit to Rob Kelly for taking time to see them, can't be easy. Good luck to them. The youngest two are entitled to free season tickets anyway.
