Caerphilly Ram Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 Very sad news for Josh and his family, the support from his colleagues will be needed at a difficult time like this, sometimes there’s more to life than football. 😔 Perhaps something could be arranged by fans to show support at the home game? Applause at the 31st min or something? rammieib, S75 Ram, Ram-a-lama fa fa fa and 71 others 4 70 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexxxxx Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 (edited) Very sad. Hope the club are giving him all the support he needs. Edited September 24, 2023 by alexxxxx Caerphilly Ram, Comrade 86, Curtains and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Srg Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 My word, there’s few things in life that are as bad as that. Glad to see teammates and (presumably) the club supporting him. I hope we, as fans, can organise some show of support for him and his family. Whether it’s charity or some display. All the best Josh, take as long as you need.

Jayram Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 That is absolutely heartbreaking news. It puts everything including football into true perspective doesn’t it? I’m sure the club and staff will be supporting him all the way as should we. Maybe we can donate to a cancer charity of Josh’s choice or something. Thinking of him and his family.

Day Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 Thoughts go out to Josh and his family, incredibly sad news and as @Jayram said above, puts everything including football into perspective. Footballers are human, as are the staff, you never know what battles are taking place in their personal lives off the pitch. Would be nice for us to donate to a charity of Josh's choice when he is ready to think about anything like that, I have no doubts the club will be supporting him as much as they can. f*** cancer.

MackworthRamIsGod Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 So very sad. I will happily pay my respects however the club choose on Saturday. I also hope the fans scream and shout his name. It's only football. Premier ram, Mucker1884, David Graham Brown and 5 others 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eccles the ram Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 So so sad... thousands of rams fans don't know you but today,me included, will be that much sadder with life. Football always comes second when this horrible thing happens. Condolences to you and your family Josh. Hope us fans can give you something against Cambridge to show we are all sharing your grief mate and you are part of the Rams family. Stay strong.

Millenniumram Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 What an absolutely horrendous thing for anyone to go through. Can’t even begin to imagine the pain he feels right now. May she rest in peace, and I really hope Vickers gets all the support in the world over the difficult few months he’ll have to come. Seems like the squad is right behind him which is great to see. Hopefully the supporters groups can come together and organise some sort of show of solidarity this weekend.

Mucker1884 Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 Josh, I have been lucky enough to have had my soulmate for almost 38 years now... over 26 of them as man & wife. Literally nothing would fill me with more dread than having to spend just one solitarily minute without her as the biggest part of my life. My soul, my heart, my every breath. I have known personal tragedy of course, as have many of us, and indeed have bore witness to my own father suffering precisely what you are now going through yourself, albeit many years ago now. But to imagine having to suffer a tragedy such as this myself, remains unthinkable. My heart goes out to you, Josh, and I truly wish you nothing but eventual peace, happiness, and everlasting memories. Stay strong, buddy, and may your beautiful wife sleep in eternal peace. xxx Steve How Hard?, Ramrob, IslandExile and 25 others 27 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8Leeds Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 (edited) A man can take almost anything you throw at him but the idea of losing the love of your life, your rock, your soul mate is one thing that would break us all. My sincerest and heart felt condolences to you and your family Josh. The ones we love are never gone, we have our memories for now to tide us through, they are waiting for us and when the time is right we’ll be back with them. Be strong mate, we are all with you xxx Edited September 24, 2023 by 8Leeds DiggerB, Caerphilly Ram, Mucker1884 and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeds Ram Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 Absolutely horrible news. I am sure the club will rally around him and give him whatever support he needs. I hope the club and fans rally around him on Saturday, show him dcfc is one big family and that he is not alone.

8Leeds Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 This has hit me like a ton of bricks. My life only really began when I met my wife. She’s given me everything I ever wanted, the idea of not being able ask her opinion, to never see her smile again, to look into her eyes and see nothing but pure love and devotion, I don’t think I’d ever be myself again without her. I’d fight on for the sake of our kids but if I lost her a huge piece of me would go with her. We need to do something collectively to show Josh and his family that they are part of our family now, something that lasts and will always celebrate Laura’s memory, something that also remembers the ones we’ve lost as well to this vile disease, something that shows our complete and unwavering solidarity.

PistoldPete Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 Very sad. Josh hasn't been called upon to play for first team much so far, but he has made himself available, which is incredible really as I understand this has been a long battle that he has had to see his wife go through sadly lost this week.

Yoxoram Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 Horrible disease. I know what he is going through and I am not embarrassed to admit that I shed a tear or two this morning when I heard the sad news. He has my very best wishes.

Miggins Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 Josh, I can't imagine what you are going through. I read your post with tears and feel so sad that you have had to cope with this together for a long time. How cruel life can be. Sending you lots of love at such a dreadful time.
