Rio Ferdinand Thoughts Are With You

Poor bloke how do you tell your kids that.?

Tragic, 34 is no age, feel for his kids

Wow that's tragic

Devastated for Rio and his family.

Awful news. Cancer doesn't discriminate. These things really put football into perspective.

terrible tragedy to go through. feel for rio. what a dignified man the way he has gone about his business as usual despite the fact he has received criticism all season. no doubt he was in training everyday helping the youngsters then going home to look after his wife. so sorry for him.

it is horrific to tell children. when my mum passed away i used a cartoon to explain to my 4 year old brother. there is just no easy way to tell anyone about a loved one but with kids it is horrific.

LLM I know what you mean , I lost my dad when he was 62 to cancer.
Broke my heart having to tell my 3 kids .

RIP Rio's wife.

very sad news. age 34. 6 years older than me.

makes you think. enjoy each day you live.. because it could end any time.
