I lost my dad to cancer on 24th April, from diagnosis to dying was just over 4 months and I'm still in shock. Absolutely horrendous disease. RIP my dad and Craig Shakespeare.

Awful news. Just 60. Cancer. Family must be devastated.

Ex-Leicester boss Shakespeare dies aged ... 27p2mmzxpo

[KateR]

yes awful, unexpected as far as I knew, definitely far too young. RIP

[beddie]

Already an earlier thread on this dreadful news.

[warksclaret]

Some wonderful tributes from some top professional footballers that played for him over the years, including Grealish and Schmeikel-says an awful lot about Craig. When I was working, a work colleague lived in the same street as him in Tamworth, and he told me Craig always found time to speak to him. When Leicester won the PL, the team and coaches were given a new car each-Craig elected to give his to a charity. RIP Craig

Terribly sad news and 60 is no age at all.

My father was recently diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer and I hope one day in the not too distant future we are able to beat this dreadful disease.
