Octopus of Odstock 2,195 Posted September 12, 2023 46 minutes ago, Perhaps said: Stuart Gray, diagnosed with stage four Cholangiocarcinoma in June 2023, life expectancy 6-18 months, already has a chronic liver disease on top of that. Saved you a click. Famous enough in his own right as well as the family link. Ex Celtic, ex Reading (decent player actually), ex Scotland U21 defender, played his uncle in the Damned United. Sorry to hear he's unwell, but it doesn't look good. Reading FC's most recent death (as it were) is currently Neale Cooper who played briefly in the early 1990's. Gray or the MND stricken Jason Bowen would change that to significantly much more recently. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
