Those of you who post regularly on here or who stand in the Clayton End may have been missing my ginger friend Mike, (Redraine as he is known on here), at the last couple of home games and on the Accy Web. Mike has been ill for a few years after being diagnosed with Prostrate Cancer problems. He has coped so well in spite of being on various forms of medication and having a range of treatments. During the last year the problem has spread into his bones and late last week he was quite poorly and he was taken into hospital. He underwent a scan and subsequently he has had a major operation to remove some bad stuff from in between two of his spinal lumbar sections. The two adjacent lumbar sections have now been pinned together and he is in recovery. I have not visited him yet but we have been texting each other and he is very chirpy as ever. It will be quite a few weeks I am sure before we see him at matches but please keep him in your thoughts. Please feel free to leave him messages of encouragement on here and I will print them out and take them to him when I can visit.
Thanks Bob Mitchell (choirboy)
