  • Fucking hell, terrible news, i had no idea she was suffering cancer, 54, so young to go, regardless of how bad a sports journo she was and how many times she bagged our club you wouldnt wish this on anybody, blessings to her and her family.

  • One of her last pieces was a real attack at Fifita, called him a disgraceful human being etc... sure he might have a slight chuckle today. 

    • Well if he does then she was right.
  • Wow. Totally out of the blue. I had to triple check that to see if you werent trolling.

    Rest in peace Rebecca
  • I didn't like her views but she was still a human being, mother and wife. Rest in peace Rebecca.

    All the best to her family.

  • Credit to her, she never went public or looked for sympathy with it, not that there would have been anything wrong with that but she kept it a secret from the public till the end.

    • So young . Very sad for her family
  • All i'd like to say cancer is a terrible thing and a sad way for anyone to go out.

  • Carlo do you need a check up? come into town and see Dr Snakie, i'll give you one for free and id be a lot more thorough than the doctors lol.

    • You'll be done in no time lmfao
