Yes a cruel disease and best of luck to him regardless what thought of him before.

Basic respect for a fellow human being has to come before any feelings towards someone based on how they used to act on a football pitch.

I wouldn't wish motor neurone disease on my worst enemy and I can't imagine the pain and heartache that Ricksen and his family and friends must be going through and I hope that I never will.

The fact that he's only 40 years old is absolutely tragic and it's hard to think that someone who was an elite sportsman just a few years ago is now going through this.

I wish him all the best and I hope he finds the strength to fight this awful illness for as long as he possibly can.

Very sad.

I think they had a benefit game for him today at Fleetwood. It drew a gate of just under 5000 which I think is the highest attendance at Fleetwood this season. You wouldnt wish that on anyone. Keep fighting it Fernando.

Very very sad. Best wishes Fernando.

Reminds me a bit of Lennon as a player. The type of guy you love to have playing for you, but everyone else hates him.

I always liked him as a player. Hard as nails and technically a good football player. Yes he had some moments like the elbow at Hampden when we won on pens but I'd have had him any day in my team.

**Sweet Left Peg** · 26-03-2017 05:13 PM

It's a truly horrid disease that I wouldn't wish on anyone.

Exactly.
All the best to him.

**madabouthibs** · 26-03-2017 05:59 PM

That fact that most of us hated him as a player is pretty much a compliment to his ability.
Very sad to see him like this. :-(

He wisnae very good, an average player in a good team. He was just a twat
A bit like Andy Watson at Aberdeen minus the twat.

Yup, average enough to play for his country.

***givescotlandfreedom*** · 26-03-2017 06:16 PM

It's really horrible what's happened to him. Terrible illness, especially happening to someone so young.

***NORTHERNHIBBY*** · 26-03-2017 06:24 PM

Saw his picture on the back of the Hunday Mail. Would not have recognised him. Real shame.

**Renfrew_Hibby** · 26-03-2017 06:25 PM

Saw him when he was out with some Dutch pals while shopping at Silverburn a few months ago. Couldn't believe how he was compared to how I remember him.
Such a shame.

And we're not talking about San Marino either.

You don't play for the Netherlands if you're not a top player.

So does top mean 'international' ?

Top players I remember at the huns were Gazza and Laudrup. Ricksen wouldn't even register on their scale of topness.

Or maybe Gazza and Laudrup were top, top players?

Absolutely. I never liked him when he played for rangers but who the hell cares, its just a game of football at the end of the day and absolutely nobody deserves that. Heartbreaking to see how he is now. So incredibly sad.

All my thoughts to him and his family. Keep fighting Fernando!

***Lancs Harp*** · 26-03-2017 07:05 PM

Eh come on lads the boys extremely ill, should we really be discussing if he was top, ***** or whatever?

Yep. I hated Lennon at Celtic, I thought he was a mouthy, bad tempered dickhead but he is absolutely someone you want on your side as he is so passionate and someone who just wants to go out and win everything.

Well said....a little respect for a guy with a horrible illness, no matter who he played for.

Doesn't seem much to ask for.

***Itsnoteasy*** · 26-03-2017 08:24 PM

Plenty other ordinary pleasant mannered people suffer from this sickening illness. This was a guy who caused mayhem while in Scotland. First player to be trialed by video evidence & found guilty for a karate style kick on Darren Young. One xmas day crashed his car into a tree & was 2 times over the legal limit, charged & guilty again. Let fireworks off in the middle of the night, a neighbour came out and complained saying his kids were sleeping he then assaults him charged & guilty again
Abused an air steward on a pre season flight to South Africa.
Maybe it's just Rangers to blame for all the above.

FFS he's human. Despite the previous poor behaviour you list he doesn't deserve the horrible torture of the illness he's currently experiencing.

Are you suggesting only pleasant mild mannered sufferers of MND deserve any sympathy or good wishes?
