Benny Klack Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Great goalie who done well to get his career back on track when Fergie hung him out to dry at Man United. Having him and Goram as Scotland keepers in the same era was incredible. Couldnae stop Fozzie though (or Robbo on countless occasions 😎) Hopefully he’s on the road to full recovery - good football guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m on hormone injections and I’ve had 4 radiotherapy sessions so far, another 19 to go for me. I had no symptoms but decided to ask for a blood test after someone I knew had been diagnosed. if your over 50 or have family history of the disease or you’re going to the loo more often than usual or your not peeing normally in any way or you’re getting up for a pee in the middle of the night more than usual ask for a blood test. Don’t take no for an answer if you just want tested as some doctors won’t test you if you’ve no symptoms! Get checked, it could save your life, it did for me. Very good advice. I had prostate cancer four years ago and had an operation. All ok now. I had no symptoms but luckily it showed up in a blood test for something else. Hope your treatment goes well!

Chong Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 "bandy bandy bandy bandy" Loved JC lobbing him from about 30 yards at Easter Road when it was easier to nutmeg him 😂 Never minded Jim Leighton for Scotland but didn't worry me when he aged and was at Hibs like Goram did and absolutely nobody since.

It’s an insidious cancer as there are hardly any symptoms apart from going to loo more which most people just write off as getting old .

Didn't save my prostate though - that's long gone, in some analysis jar somewhere. All the best, tamanov. If you're near a Maggies, they can be a great support.

A quick look over the qualification table on Wikipedia indicates that it played a critical role in us getting to France. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Roddy Forsyth describing him as "Scotland's bulletproof vest" in that game. I seem to remember us being under the hammer pretty much from start to finish, with John McGinley providing some brief respite! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morgan Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 16 hours ago, Buster HMFC said: Nope What do you mean by "nope"? Jim Leighton has always looked a bit older than he actually was. It is not a criticism of him, merely a popular, and well documented, opinion. I can only assume that you are a person similar to the ilk of Peter Pan? After backing you up last night on your first comment to @Italian Lambretta, you seem to have gone a bit over-the-top with some of your remarks to other posters. You clearly like a bit of antagonism, coupled with a fair spread of slanderous and derogatory comments on here. To be honest with you, Buster, I can now fully understand my decision a good few weeks ago to ignore you. I erred last night regarding that train of thought, and now regret my supportive post to you. You are, as my mum used to say, 'all mouth and trousers'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always been of the opinion that there should be a prostate screening programme for men over 50 like there is breast screening for women. It's the most common cancer in men and regular testing helps to catch it in the early stages and increases the chance of survival. Wish you all the best and hope your treatment does the business 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
