Stiliyan Petrov has acute leukaemia

[GilbertGutbucket]

'Aston Villa captain Stiliyan Petrov has been diagnosed with acute leukaemia, the West Midlands club have announced'.......

What a shock. Wishing him all the best of luck and success in beating this.

Fingers crossed he beats it.

[MaxAndRuby]

Oh st, that's terrible

[CIE560]

Awful. I hope he can fight it.

[hornetrider]

Just heard this, terrible news.

[Raja]

Real shame. Awful thing to hit someone out of the blue. I have no doubt he'll fight it and beat it. YNWA

[fathomfive]

Awful news. Hope he manages to beat it.

[750turbo]

Dreadful!

[V8TVR]

He's a top hard working player, thoughts and prayers with him and his family

[Allyc85]

I wish him all the best in his recovery!

[Garym85]

Get well soon.

Always disliked him as a Celtic player- nothing personal just as he was a great player.

Puts football just being a game into perspective.

Hope he makes a full and speedy recovery.

I wish him well in his battle. I've always known Leukaemia is a very serious illness, but until doing a little more research, I never really understood how serious. Sounds like its been an emotional day at Villa Park today.

The same happened today at Celtic park Vs St Johnstone.
I loved Stan when he played for Celtic, came to us a boy and left as a Man, we've never properly replaced him. He even signed a new contract despite knowing he wanted to leave the club, so that Celtic received a good fee for him when he left
Get well soon Stan.
