Very sad news. I heard him on Radio Manchester a while back and talked about the cancer returning. He battled on valiantly.

RIP Joe.

Remember a few years ago he scored a winner for Rochdale in the last game of the season which kept them in their division( Can't recall whether 2nd or 3rd). The game was on tv around 2018 and I think the opposition were looking for a win to be promoted. A brave lad and I'd like to see Rochdale promoted this year. RIP Joe.

Really sad news and 36 years is no age at all.

I heard him speak at a work event and it was memorable and inspirational.

Really sad news this. Absolutely gutted for him, his family and all of his mates. Really terrible news that. Seems like a great bloke as well.

RIP JOE.

Incredible bravery. What a terribly sad story. Can’t even imagine what her and her family have been through.

RIP Joe.

I picked up this news while down at Watford on Friday - such terribly sad news. Just 36 too and having gone through so much.

Incredibly sad to lose someone so young. And after everything he'd been through too.
Thats a heartbreaking tribute up the thread.
R.I.P Joe.
