Mowbray talking quite open about his illness

Yearly MOT picked it up after he told doc he’d noticed a few differences.

Get checked out if anything unusual happens to your normal routine

 

[Norman_Conquest]

I've just mentioned it on the match day thread. Very open and some great advice.

Give it a listen if you can get it on catch-up.

Just saw him outside the ground.

 

[MoggasDog]

Did he say what the illness is/was?

Bowel cancer

And i hope the big man is doing well, now?

 

[Jonny_Rondos_Disco_pants]

He said

And i hope the big man is doing well, now?

he’s still feeling it but hopes another couple of months and he’ll be back to full strength.

Never listen to the radio commentary usually but driving upto Newcastle I listened to the second half.

Really interesting and inciteful comments and tactically very knowledgeable obviously.

Always prefer to listen to managers talk about the game than, just, ex-players.. they really see the full game..
Good to hear Mogga doing well..

 

[Redlips]

It was breath of fresh air. I hope BBC Teeshave him on again.

 

[RavsFan]

Horrible disease, hope he is fully recovered and back in the dug out soon

 

[Nero]

What a man Mowbray is. I could listen to him about football all day. It’s great he’s on the mend and I hope he makes a full recovery.

 

[Legz]

Just listened to the hour build up on catch up. What a bloke.....so open about his illness when he didn't need to be.
The message has to be if it feels wrong get it checked....it shows with Mogga and myself. I wish him well on his road to recovery....Legend!!!

A great bloke Mogga and all that he said about taking medical advice if you suspect something is wrong with your body is true.

 

[Pauliej]

Legend doesn't really sum up what a man he is.
So proud he is and always will be part of our history and folklore

 

[Fattyfoggon]

Wow what a brilliant man

 

[zzzzz]

A thoroughly decent man inside and outside of football.
I wish him the best of luck with it, he desreves it for sure.

As someone who has had bowel cancer can only reiterate what Mogga said.If something doesn’t feel right get it checked out.Most of the time it will be nothing serious but if it is the sooner it is diagnosed the better.
On the football side listened to his analysis after the match.Absolutely spot on.The team and squad ethic is the thing.Anyone not invested in it he gets rid of.Would love to see him back here in the future(after Carrick has established us in the Premier League and gone to Manu).

I really enjoyed his input today, particularly his insight regarding Azaz and how he was creating problems and space and creating a gap between their left back and CB that Lath could exploit. I hope he comes back and does some more.
