Sad News...
Former Arsenal and Leeds midfielder David Rocastle is battling against cancer. The 33-year-old has been diagnosed as suffering from non-Hodgkin`s lymphoma, which attacks the immune system, and has been undergoing a course of chemotherapy for several weeks.
Rocastle's agent, Jerome Anderson, said: "I can confirm that, unfortunately, David is suffering from non-Hodgkin`s lymphoma. He has a very young family and, obviously, this is a very difficult time for them. Of course, everybody is rooting for him. David is known worldwide and has been a hero to many people throughout his career." Rocastle made his name at Arsenal where he won the League Championship in 1989 and 1991 as well as picking up a Milk Cup winners' medal in 1987. He was capped 14 times by England and also enjoyed a spell at Leeds and Chelsea, but could not recapture his form and found himself loaned out to Norwich before ending his career at Hull in 1997 |

I seem to remember that 'Rocky' was a local boy, who grew-up in Honor Oak with Ian Wright. My very best wishes go to him and his family.

Not nice and lets hope he makes a recovery. I can remember seeing him at Palace games on more than one occassion and I think he was a fan.
I do believe that he wanted to sign for Palace but that Arsenal would not sell him to us. North London ******s. |
