    Bradley Lowery has lost his battle with cancer.

    Life can be so cruel sometimes to good people, can't even begin to imagine what the family are going through :(

    What an inspiration the young lad is though, smiling until the very end.

    RIP Bradley <rose>

    Would also like to add that I've slated him in past for being a skate etc...

    But Jermain Defoe has been an absolute class act for Bradley, devoted so much personal time to the family giving him so much joy in his last months, and you can tell that he genuinely took the lad to his heart massively.

    An absolute credit to professional footballers and the human race in general.


    Huge, huge respect to Defoe <applause>

    Yeah, pretty sure Defoe is one of the good guys.

    Though to me he will always be the guy who hit the big screen above the Chapel from six yards out <ok>

    This all goes to prove what a lottery life is.

    Make the most of every day, every loved one. Don't get bogged down with petty frustrations and arguments.

    I hope that his life can be an inspiration to many others - it may have not been long, but as the famous expression goes something like it's not the life you live, but how you live it. He has had a positive impact on so many.

    RIP Bradley <rose>

    There should be a minute's applause at every opening PL match of the new season.

    It made me cry when I read this on Friday and as the news went round Centre Court there were lots of other tears. :emoticon-0153-broke Amazing how a little boy united football fans, showing such bravery with a cheeky smile on his face.

    Agree that Defoe deserves recognition for his genuine love for Bradley, he could just have sent a signed photo but has obviously fallen totally in love with Bradley.

    RIP little man, at least you're now out of pain but you'll be missed massively, not just by your family and friends but by total strangers world-wide. What a legacy <rose>
