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.

One of those terrible but heart warming stories, good on Rochdale for doing this. I am properly chocked up.

Stig · November 2016

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.

From the BBC Sportsday page

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.

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.

Absolutely terrible.

RIP little man.

Addick Addict · January 2017

So so sad. In a world where the demands of Payet and Costa are news this, no doubt, won't make the front or back pages.

Thoughts are with with Josh's family.

RIP little lad
