With health being a current hot topic in the news at the moment, primarily swine flu, some others have been getting deserved attention. John Hartson, the former Gunner, Celtic, West Ham and Wimbledon player (amongst others) was diagnosed with testicular cancer. This was last week. By Wednesday just gone, it was revealed that it had spread to his brains and lungs. The former Wales striker is now receiving round-the-clock care in Hospital.
The large frame of John Hartson, also represented his character. He's been a battler on the pitch for the best of his playing days, out-muscling and out-strengthening anything that came in his way. Let's hope this character can live within him again, during what must be a very difficult time.
John Hartson, 34 and retired. May you get through this.

Hartson was a quality player with dedication. I hope he can battle through right now as well.
