Fernando Ricksen

[we are hibs]

Sadly passed away.

[Sylar]

Genuinely saddened to read that. An absolute ******* of a disease that’s destroyed yet another young family.

[hfc rd]

Such a brutal damn shame. Condolences to the family and close friends.

It’s a dreadful disease, fought it bravely

[JimBHibees]

What an absolutely horrible disease that appears to be. In many ways it may be a relief for both himself and his family to finally be free from the pain of it.

RIP.

[Sir David Gray]

Sincere sympathies to everyone who knew him.

It's an illness that I would not wish on my worst enemy.

He did a lot of good in regards to raising awareness of MND and hopefully one day there will be a cure.

[lyonhibs]

In 1 way, it's dreadful news as that is an inhumane disease that I wouldn't wish on anyone. In another, given how it had ravaged him the last few years, it's probably a mercy and a bit of a release from an unimaginable horror that he fought very bravely over the last few years.

He is now, finally, at peace.

[Hibeesmad]

Horrible illness, thoughts with his family. RIP.

[CRAZYHIBBY]

R.I.P Ricksen.... an absolute shame. Really feel for his family

[KDY Hibs]

[cannastar]

[BILLYHIBS]

RIP Fernando

[Pretty Boy]

It's always horrible to read about someone dying so young having bravely fought such a terrible disease.

Hopefully his last day's were as comfortable as possible and he's at peace now. RIP.

[hibby6270]

A disease that has a sad and inevitable end. Thoughts are with his family. RIP Fernando.

A horrible disease. RIP Fernando. Commiserations to his family.

[lord bunberry]

RIP such a horrible disease for anyone to have.

[Fife-Hibee]

Very sad. Man had his problems with alcohol when he was younger, but cleaned up his act, only to be declared terminally ill several years on. There is no karma.

RIP

[Hakim Sar]

Rip Fernando. Tragic disease. Love to his family. Awful news. Can only hope he is in a better place somewhere.

Very very sad.

[Jones28]

Very sad, RIP.

Played a part in one of the most memorable days in Scottish football as well - as captain too I think?

[DarlingtonHibee]

Rip, at peace now, been through a lot of suffering, terrible for his family to watch.

[Sean1875]

A true warrior fighting that horrific disease right until the very end, I hope he can find peace now. RIP Fernando.

[The 90+2]

He’s at peace now. RIP Ricksen, top player in his day.

[SMAXXA]

Do you think there will be a minutes applause or silence for him on Sunday, appreciate he wasn’t connected to the 2 clubs but spent a lot of time in Scottish football I’d support it if so

[J-C]

So sad, horrible disease.

I'd be all for that to be honest. A big player in the Scottish game's history and he has passed away to a truly awful disease. RIP Fernando.

I hope there is. Could even see a mixed one for Fernando and Bobby Prentice
