Boycie Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 St Etienne might be a little miffed. doubt it. In the grand scheme of things, football, and everything else is unimportant when it comes to life or death. Players miss games when wives give birth, it's no different. Other than the lasting sad effects on him. He wouldn't be able to train or think about football. He's had a good career in football, and is a better financial position than other parents who sadly lose a child. My thoughts are with him, and others in the same situation.

CumbrianRam Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Latest News: 05 September, 2011 Next article Malbranque reassures supporters Former Sunderland midfielder Steed Malbranque has spoken out to reassure supporters with concerns about the health of his young family. False reports at the weekend claimed the 31 year-old has a seriously ill son and Malbranque has moved to allay supporters' fears in a statement issued by London solicitors Thomas Cooper, confirming he does not have a son and that no member of his immediate family is ill. In the statement, Malbranque's agent, Sebastien Boisseau, said: "Steed has read with concern the recent stories currently circulating about him and his family. "He would like to reassure all of his friends in England and throughout world football that these stories are wholly without foundation. "Steed does not have a son and his immediate family are all in good health. Steed does not know the origin of these stories but would like to stress that they are without merit. "He trusts that they will now cease immediately." Malbranque, who left Sunderland to return to France last month, joining Ligue 1 side Saint-Étienne, has also thanked Sunderland supporters for their concern and warm wishes in the statement. Boisseau added: "Despite the fact that the reports are untrue, Steed is very appreciative of the concern Sunderland supporters have shown and he would like to thank them for the many warm and thoughtful messages he has received." http://www.safc.com/news/20110905/malbranque-reassures-supporters-_2256213_2442128 Link to comment https://dcfcfans.uk/topic/7422-steed-malbranque-retires-from-football/#findComment-202790 Share on other sites More sharing options...

james_ram Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 It makes me sick to think that they would publish something like that without even seeing if it is correct first, and yes they do have journalists and columnists etc. F*ck you Metro.
