Dreadful news that. Horrible disease. One of life's good guys by all accounts. RIP Carlton and strength to his family and friends.
Terrible news. When he came out of the tunnel recently at the SOL, I was wondering then if the cancer was terminal. Sadly, it was. RIP Carlton - a major part of this club, both in the academy and with the Ladies Team. People like him are sadly missed.
Really sad news. A great bloke who has had significant, last impact on many people in and around the Sunderland set up. Rip.
