    Bless his little heart.

    Far too many innocent young lives are taken by this despicable disease.

    One of those terrible but heart warming stories, good on Rochdale for doing this. I am properly chocked up.

    Heartbreaking that he won't even be able to be there.

    Well that has upset me, poor little Josh, I hope they can find a cure and save him, well done to Rochdale FC as well. This puts football's 'ills' into perspective. I'll be routing for you Josh, I hope you can beat this terrible disease. My thoughts are with you and your family.

    From the BBC Sportsday page

    Five-year-old Rochdale fan given award
    Rochdale's five-year-old terminally ill fan Joshua McCormack has been named the EFL's honorary player of the month.

    Earlier this week Joshua, who has a terminal brain tumour, was named on Dale's bench for their Checkatrade Trophy tie at Hartlepool.

    He was unable to make the match at Northern Gas and Power Stadium because of his illness, but the League One side still printed a shirt with his name and number and presented it to him the next day.

    Rochdale boss Keith Hill spoke earlier this week about how Joshua's story had 'touched the hearts' of everyone at the club after the team first met him in February.

    Well that sucks. A brain tumour that leaves you dead at age 5. Totally awful and lost for words.

    Cannot really imagine how his family and friends feel now. Hope you get through it.

    Sometimes life is truly shit.

    So so sad. In a world where the demands of Payet and Costa are news this, no doubt, won't make the front or back pages.

    Thoughts are with with Josh's family.

    RIP little lad

    Tragic news. No one should suffer like that, let alone a young child.

    Rest in Peace Joshua.
