As I'm sure some of you will know, former Welsh striker John Hartson is currently in hospital receiving treatment for cancer.
Sadly now it has now been revealed that he has cancer in his brain, lungs and originally in his testicles. He is bravely fighting on despite becoming gravely ill in Morriston Hospital.

The Big C is tragic in all cases, just like it is for John.
I just wanted to wish John well and make a thread because not only is he one of my all time favourite Welsh players (hell, Wales could really do with him now in the box with his towering presence) but he also played for a number of clubs, including Arsenal and West Ham, but also Celtic where he is still considered as a Old Firm favourite (no pun intended).
He ain't angel - the evidence here of that. But he was one 'ard bastard.
But, as a football forum, it would be right to wish well a Welsh legend, who helped to make me believe Wales could one day reach the promised land.. the group stage of the World Cup!
So I implore you all, including TTFE's own 'Big John' Dale Thomas to offer your tributes.
