My brother in law had MND and for 5 years we could do nothing other than keep him as happy and comfortable as we could as he wasted away before our eyes till he died at 41.As you say terrible disease, every sympathy with Fernando and his family.

We are all going to die sometime but the fact he is so young makes it a whole lot worse. I am sure they will finally find a cure for this disease but it is probably going to be a long way off. Anyway as i said thoughts are with his whole family at this sad time. I still cannot believe it.

Who can forget Gazza? Like it or not he also has an illness, granted not the same or severe as Fernando but just like him he is and always will be a bear, my thoughts, best wishes and love to their families go out equally.

I probably shouldn't get upset but we get some really strange people on here. Who would press disagree about poor Fernando-whether you liked him or rated him as a player the guy is dying from a horrible terminal illness where his mind remains active but his body slowly bit by bit gives up on him to the point of death. I'd like the person/ persons who disagree to come on and let us know why they think we should feel no sympathy for the guy and his family.

A friend of the Ricksen family has just come out and rubbished these rumours. Fernando is no worse, thank God. Can't get my head around why anyone would start rumours like that. Sick f*cks

rtrnrf if that was a dig at me about starting rumours. I would never be that sick to report rumours i merely stated what the press were reporting. whatever the case it is still obvious that Fernando will not be getting any better and it is still pretty a sad sight to see him suffer like this. my prayers are with him through this difficult time.

Absolutely disgusting that some moron should press disagree. You should be ashamed of yourself

Tragic seeing a once fit athlete deteriorate like this, i hope he lives out the rest of his life surrounded by love from all quarters. A worthy opponent and an even better man. God bless FR

Just seen a picture on FB and he is in a hospital bed looks like the poor guy is at the end of a long fight
God bless you Fernando a true Ranger
I can see you and Davie Cooper showing all up there how it’s done.
