Four years after being diagnosed with leukaemia, Stiliyan Petrov will join Aston Villa's pre-season training camp in Austria next week, with a view to being in the first team squad for the 2016/17 season. Good luck to him.
Some bloody good news like this might just give Villa the desire to mount a serious challenge next season. Good luck Stiliyan.
Its a really good PR move by Villa this. Immediately gets the fans onboard for next season while also introducing 'somebody who cares' into their dressing room.
If OLM had simply posted Petrov would you have made any comment. For your info the locals actually refer to him as Stan
An Inconsequential Question Really, Is'nt It. And Is Stan the Man locally recognized enough for His nickname to be part of My knowledge basis.?
Good new this, seem a thorough nice guy and will be a moral boost for Villa, Hope he has lost a bit of weight, the last time I saw him he was certainly a stone or two overweight.
The guy has recovered from a potential life threatening disease and you worry about how his forename is translated into English rather than pass any other comment.
That an excellent bit of football news; let's call it the Filey Factor (as that's closer to our collective hearts), they just keep on having a go them boys! Edit: and Girls
Get a grip, Talk about about blowing up something out of proportion. Yes , Stiliyan fought like a Tiger and truimphed with his health & life over a terrible Illness. And I am Glad. But suggesting my post Is somehow predicated by what the O.P may or may not have quoted , namely OLM , Is Irrelavant to my thinking out loud and replying , whilst reading their story. And AugustTiger I Don't know how you ascertained that I was worried about his name spelling. You are a Grade 1 ****ing Dead ****.
