Put this on the page Thanks for all the support’ Fernando Ricksen: “Through this statement, I want to thank everyone for the many messages I received in the past few days, after I was diagnosed with the muscular disease ALS. The countless emails and tweets, thousands of replies, the banners and the minutes applause on the stands at Fortuna Sittard, AZ, Glasgow Rangers and Zenit St. Petersburg, it was fantastic. It gave me a lump in my throat, and then there were tears. Not the same tears as that Wednesday evening on TV in De Wereld Draait Door. These were tears of emotion. The sympathy of everyone, that is incredible, and I am deeply impressed by that. Even the supporters of Celtic show their sympathy and are backing me. This is significant. This means so much to me. Because of the enormous amount of replies, I can’t thank everyone personal, so I do it through this statement. There is one thing I don’t want. I don’t want people to pity me. I (will) keep on fighting. Earlier I have said: one time someone has to be the first person to beat this terrible disease and survive. Let me be that person. I will be the fighter that I always have been. You can count on that.”//Stevie
