  • Great touch by the club.
  • What a wonderful gesture.
  • Very thoughtful gesture by Dale and my thoughts are with Josh.
  • poor little chap .. that's why any donation to cancer research is a wonderful gift .. to try and prevent more Joshes and his family going through such immeasureable turmoil
  • Bless the little fella.......sometimes life just ain't fair.
  • Bless his little heart.

    Far too many innocent young lives are taken by this despicable disease.
  • I was just reading that article myself on the BBC, great gesture for a brave little guy.

    Well done Rochdale, my thoughts are with Josh and his family.

    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.

    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.
  • Just seen this, so sad:

    Shit shit shit.......that's just about as sad and tragic as it gets.
    He was absolutely adorable.

  • 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.
