msc 18,480 Posted February 9, 2017 Well, he's not on for dementia. He's on for third year Stage IV bowel cancer. He may live, and he seems cheery, but the stats (especially for his age) are not in his favour. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

charon 4,943 Posted February 9, 2017 Perhaps tho he said some the half dozen had already passed. Which most unlike the Liverpool team back then.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Drewsky1211 4,759 Posted September 8, 2017 You know, we haven't heard much about this guy for a while. Got any recent news articles about him? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,480 Posted September 8, 2017 Well, an update of sorts - he was unable to return to his weekly football radio show this season with Ian Snodin. Could be bored, of course. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joey Russ 7,229 Posted November 5, 2017 Don’t know about you, but to me, Ian St John honestly just looks like another guy in his mid 70’s. I think he could last another decade at this rate tbh... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,480 Posted November 5, 2017 Well, you know, Joey, you know how someone with Stage IV cancer keeps quiet, and it's usually seen as bad news. That's a bridge that can be crossed both ways. But... that level of cancer that spread after surgery to remove it? Statistically, he should be fucked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,657 Posted November 5, 2017 He looks well enough to make another squad - not sure I'll risk a pick that scores depending on time (HPDP or Deathrace) after seeing that picture in the bookshop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,480 Posted November 30, 2017 Here's some video of him in that BBC Shankly doc from the other week. I'd say that extra decade hypothesized above might be slightly optimistic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,657 Posted December 1, 2017 The guy can walk, stand, hold a conversation and remember stuff. How many high profile q/o footballers of his age are in care homes? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deadpool 166 Posted December 1, 2017 After seeing this video, in my opinion, he will live at least 5 years more... one name to drop... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deathrace 1,171 Posted December 1, 2017 Based on this, he could die in the next 12 months but he could last another 10 years. Chances are he’ll live another 2-5 years. In my view there’s easily 50 better candidates for 2018. One to drop from the list. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
