Just seen this sad news. |
Re: Mickey Thomas
Just came on to post this up
[i]"Mickey Thomas’s life has been a rollercoaster of highs and lows, representing club and country at the highest level, including 90 appearances for his beloved Manchester United, but he is currently facing the biggest battle: beating cancer. Diagnosed with stomach cancer in January 2019, Mickey starts chemo and radiotherapy treatment on 11th February, followed by an operation to remove the tumour and then another course of chemo. Unable to work while going through treatment, Mickey has no source of income, so his friends are getting together to raise money to help cover his living and travel expenses, plus some of the medical expenses related to the treatments he requires – including having all of his teeth replaced. He shouldn’t be worrying about money during this tough time; we want his focus to be on beating this awful disease and getting back with us all as soon as possible. Still such a presence around Old Trafford and very much a part of the United family, Mickey is one of the most loveable guys you could meet. He is full of life, fun-loving and generous beyond belief, so please give what you can and join us in supporting him in his fight."[/i] |
Re: Mickey Thomas fundraiser

Re: Mickey Thomas fundraiser
Donated. Hope Micky gets through this. Long hard road ahead.

Re: Mickey Thomas fundraiser
Donated , feel that Chelsea & Man U Stoke etc could fund this entirely from their vast resources.

Re: Mickey Thomas fundraiser
Puts this week's fun & games at Wrexham AFC into perspective.
Make no mistake this is a tough one to fight. I recently lost a good friend to stomach cancer. He was given 18 months to live in late 2018 and died just 6 weeks later. Good luck Mickey. |
Re: Mickey Thomas fundraiser
Very very sad news one of my footballing idols of the 70s/80s.
This money could easily be collected by the clubs he played for Chelsea,Everton,Man U, Stoke, Everton Wrexham.. The former players association, Man U Premier footballers. But it's not all about money he has a terrific fight on his hands let's hope they have found it early as it's a very hard cancer to treat. I will donate but it could be found by the above in minutes. Football means nothing when it comes to health. Keep fighting Noddy Thomas. [size=1][i]Posted via mobile theme[/i][/size] |
Re: Mickey Thomas fundraiser
Is to late to organise a collection tomorrow.

Re: Mickey Thomas fundraiser

A simple show of support,that's all.A fella hasn't got to have popped his cloggs to warrant a show of support.Conventions are there to be broken. |

Lets hope it has been caught early and he can be treated. As JND says its a difficult disease to treat especially the lymph nodes. Would be good if Sky Sports could raise awareness and his ex team mates all donate. There must be hundreds of them with all the clubs he had. :) |
Re: Mickey Thomas fundraiser
Donated Good luck Mickey T keep fighting

Re: Mickey Thomas fundraiser
Can the club do something here? I’m thinking a limited edition, club authorised version of this signed by Mickey plus others:

Not controversial enough. |
Re: Mickey Thomas fundraiser
Mickey is one of the best midfielders ever at Wrexham todays present players would be resigned to licking his boots.

I guess it's because it is not controversial. Also, even the most negative poster wouldn't risk his life to contradict the sentiments in this thread. Pob lwc, Mickey. Been there, it can be beaten. God bless the NHS |

Re: Mickey Thomas fundraiser
It seems there are a few local fundraisers, Fat Boar burger thing looks like it will add a grand to the total with a load of people chipping in.

Re: Mickey Thomas fundraiser
Denis Irwin has chucked a grand in. Assume it’s THE Denis Irwin.

Re: Mickey Thomas fundraiser
The word legend gets bounded about far too easily these days, but as far as Wrexham is concerned he really is a true legend.
He's a fighter and as fit as a butcher's dog so I'm sure he will beat it, but clearly support along the way won't do him any harm, and not just financial. So, and I hope folk don't the wrong end of the stick here, what about making one of of our promotion run in games Mickey Thomas day as a show of support? I'm sure it would see the Racecourse packed, raise some money (not just for Mickey but for those charities that deal with this day in, day out) and let Mickey know just what he means to football fans in North Wales. Thoughts? |

Given that they've all got hundreds if not thousands of ex players, some of whom no doubt are elderly/frail/in ill health/fallen on hard times, are they reluctant to set a precedent? Lets be honest here, Chelsea Man U or Stoke could cover his expenses for several years without it even registering on their accounts. |
