Jack Dearden

Missed this in the chaos yesterday but he’s been diagnosed with cancer. 

 

 

Stay strong jack 👍🏻

 

Up there with Dave Higson for me. His voice synonymous with Bolton Wanderers. The Rant after derby and obviously the forest match will go down in folklore. 

Gives me heart attack but I think he’s ace.

Awful news. Get well soon

Horrendous. I don't like the part in the video where he says "at some point I'll have to stop work altogether". I hope he means temporarily....

Get well soon Jack

Aye, wish him well with it

my auntie beat it yesterday, hopefully Jack can to

Cracking fella and, as mentioned, his voice is synonymous with some pretty significant moments in our history. Best of luck, Jack.

Get well Jack 

On another note, how can you immunise against throat cancer? 

All the very best Jack

Related to HPV. 

Not what I wanted to hear this morning, fingers crossed he gets well soon!

Lad I know is just being treated for this. Prognosis is good so hopefully same for Jack. 

Fingers crossed

Jesus, this is terrible news, grew up listening to him commentate when I was a kid and couldnt afford to go to matches.

Amazing; the subject of this immunisation was only being discussed on the beeb yesterday.

Only a small age range proposed initially though, £150 for those beyond it. Worth it in the long run, but a bit steep for some.

Best wishes Jack.

Aren't girls provided immunisation? To try and prevent cervical cancer.

Nice one R, glad to hear it.

Don't always agree with Jacko but he's a decent bolke and passionate as you'd like

You can do it fella!

Top man Jack. 

He’ll come through it with a smile. 

Imagine a 'One Jack Dearden' chant breaking out at a game he's commentating on........?

Could we make it happen?

An absolute gentleman, and a legend in my eyes. Wish nothing but the best for him.

Best wishes Jack
