R.I.P. Young Bradley Lowery.

[TIL 1010 5,246]

The 6 year old lad who captured the hearts of every football fan passed away this afternoon at 1.35pm. No words needed.

[City 2nd 193]

A very sad loss, and as Jermaine Defoe states, it puts football into perspective. RIP Bradley, a battle lost but so bravely fought.

[OldRobert 38]

At peace.

[SwindonCanary 457]

RIP Bradley 

[Crabbycanary3 994]

Jeez, his poor family. RIP son

So sad, RIP young, brave man.

Football for the most part is fairly corrupt and crap but stories like Bradley''s and others (Nutty''s Rays Funds for example) are important to remind us that it can bring people together and raise awareness and support for lads like Bradley and his family.

[Mr Angry 2,019]

So sad, such a brave little boy, always smiling despite what he was going through-he certainly touched the hearts of thousands during his fight. Jermain''s obvious affection for him was also very touching.

RIP Bradley

[Lessingham Canary 108]

So, so sad for one so young, certainly touched the hearts of our family,, RIP little man.[U]

[Syteanric 1]

RIP Little man. bless his soul.Lets spare a thought for his family and also for his hero Jermaine Defoe who went above and beyond for Bradley and made his last few months happy.

[Branston Pickle 4,150]

Sad news, but sadly not unexpected from what Defoe was saying yesterday

[nutty nigel 7,902]

RIP young Bradley you caught the hearts of our football nation.

Sadly there''s so many more devastating stories that are not so high profile. I watched a video today that I unashamedly admit brought a tear.

It''s always rankled with me that without fundraising these children''s hospices would cease to exist.

[Mr Angry 2,019]

Yeah, it definitely rankles Nutty-I often ask myself why it should be up to the general public to put their hands in their pockets once again for research, etc, instead of the government funding it.

[Diane 500]

Bradley and his family were an inspiration to us all and the happiness & friendship Jermaine Defoe gave the little lad in his last few months was heart warming too.

Such a shame

Heart breaking. What a lovely young man from a lovely family

Sunderland and Defoe were fantastic

Rip

Nutty I would like to make a donation of £20 to your pups in memory of Bradley. Can you give me an insight into how I can get this to you please?

[Horse Renoir 1]

Awful news. I mean we knew it was inevitable but still. My heart sank when they announced it on the radio.

The family must be inconsolable but at least they have the support of basically the entire country, which is a small comfort I suppose

[Mello Yello 2,572]

A little trooper who has sadly gone......RIP Young Bradley.......

[Faded Jaded Semi Plastic SOB 1,223]

Rest in peace Bradley, such a brave, happy little chap......
