all the best mark. hope to see you back in the showgrounds early next year.
Piece in the times as well along the same lines.
I had a similar problem a few years ago with a tumour, though not in the brain. Hits you for six. Very tough time for the lad I would imagine.
Puts things in pespective.
I wish him all the best.

Had heard about this earlier in the year but thought he was ok when he played this season.
All the best Mark :ball::ball:

Mark is a paragon of a professional footballer. I'm sure he'll make a good recovery to once again lead the Derry City forward line.

Can only echo the above statement. Excellent player and hope he would have the best wishes of every fan inthe LOI in his battle.

Indeed. Best wishes to Mark, hope he comes back strongly and starts banging in the goals again (just not against us ;))
Shocking stuff. Get well soon Mark.

Fantastic player. Get well soon Mark.
On the front page of the Mirror LoI supplement today too.
"Low grade benign tumour" it says which sounds hopeful at least, still scary though.
Best wishes to a fine player.

Hope everything goes Okay for him, he is a very courageous man, he reminds me of the late Barry Kehoe who went through cancer and played on after he got the all clear.

Derry have been missing his goals, but the league has been missing a gentleman and a wonderful player. Keep fighting the good fight, and see you next year. God bless.

Good luck Mark.
A nicer lad you couldn't meet either. Puts a bit of perspective on things.
