    Similar - my lad had a febrile convulsion when he was 8 months old - terrified the life out of me and he was rushed to HRI.

    I honestly can't even begin to understand how they feel. He hasn't even had a life yet.

    I hope he keeps fighting.

    Go on Bradley.

    My youngest had a febrile convulsion when he was about 3 months old. The prompt action of a shopkeeper off Spring Bank and an ambulance driver who came the wrong way down a one way street made all the difference. I said to my wife it must have been awful as she was on her own, intimating I might not have got into such a state. When he as six months old he had another. I was very wrong about myself remaining calm. He had another at a year and about 2 years of age. Fortunately that was the last one. We are lucky as not that long ago a febrile convulsion, especially when anywhere remote, was often fatal.

    That picture of his happy face when he has so many problems should be shown to anyone moaning about some inconsequential matter. Myself included.

    Totally agree - I was absolutely terrified. He's 7 now and he's not had another. Since that day he's always been a bit mollycoddled as we thought we'd lost him that day.

    What Bradley's parents are going through is far worse - unimaginable for me. To see terminally ill children is so wrong. I just find it gutting.

    Defoe is wonderful with him. It must be extremely difficult for him and I respect him greatly for what he is doing.

    Defoe's been brilliant with the lad. Much respect.

    It's heart breaking to see his little face in those photos, it puts absolutely everything into context, I quite honestly couldn't give a **** what division we're playing our football in next season, I'd be happy for us to be in the conference north if it meant that little ones didn't suffer the ****ing plague that is cancer!

    Me too, mate. I can honestly say that everyone that I know up here are magnificent in their support and selflessness in getting behind the positives this sad situation has created. Folk realy are good. <ok>

    Great words - in total agreement. Defoe has gone up hugely in my estimation.
