Chris Todd

Torquay United

comment on the article

I just wanted to record my best wishes for Chris Todd who has just announced that he has been diagnosed with Leukemia.

In the short period that he has been with the club he has becoime a highly valued member of the squad and will be sorely missed whilst he is battling this illness.

The thoughts of all Torquay United supporters are with you and your family at his time Chris and we are looking forward to the day when you can pull on the yellow shirt and run out on to the Plainmoor grass again. Be strong, fight hard and come back stronger & fitter.

Good luck Chris

Best wishes Chris,you have overcome the biggest hurdle-remaining positive.
I am 2 years all clear after a cancer diagnosis at the age of 34.
Without a positive and determined attitude (which you have )and a fab circle of family and friends for support ,i believe i would not have got through it.
Best of luck mate from Stevenage Boro Fan.

Reading his article he sounds as if he's being very brave and taking it all in his stride.
Stay strong and get well soon

From a Kiddy Harriers fan and a physio working on a haematology unit in Nottingham I wish you all the best for your treatment.

Your not exactly local to Hartlepool but I'm sure all Poolies wish you well in your treatment. I'm sure Exeter fans will as well as we would a Darlo player: this is more important and I hope to see you impressing in the league next season when Torquay go upand you'replaying in full health. Good luck!

I'm an Exeter fan but come with good intentions. I just wanted to wish an amazing old exeter player all the best for the future and hope he has a speedy recovery and is back persuing his career at torquay soon. Just to wish your team all the best for the rest of the season.
