On hearing of the sad news about Jose Enrique this morning Newcastle fans have taken to Twitter to give the Spanish left-back some encouragement for his battle that lies ahead and will give him a real lift.
Jose has been operated on for a brain tumor which was removed in a 9-hour operation in Spain last week.
Word of encouragement have also been flooding in from Liverpool fans for a player who was always popular.
Jose helped us to come straight back up from the Championship back in 2010 after we were relegated from the Premier League the year before.
He left the club when he lost faith in Mike Ashley and signed on at Liverpool for about £7M in 2011.
Our thoughts, prayers and very best wishes go out to Jose and his family and we’re sure he will fight this disease with everything he’s got.
Best wishes Jose!
Jose Enrique – while at Newcastle

Comment #111Tsunki,
I got a pair free with my latest Samsung, I thought they were full of gadgetry for the £120 price tag, it’s actually all to do with the app and the cardboard fiver ones are exactly the same. Samsung etc have been having people’s eyes out, they must literally cost pennies to make.

The local bobby says it doesn’t matter what you think about a football result apparently you can’t throw Swedish meatballs at the Angel of the North and claim that it’s art as part of the Great North Exhibition.

Comment #117Jimbelow – 50/50. Born in Germany. I think they’ll claim him. And unless he’s O’Fassbender I think he sounds pretty Teutonic 🙂

O’Fassbender LOL
yeah he defo sounds more like a Kraut!
I think he self-identifies as Irish if I remember correctly, but they will definitely claim him in keeping with their claiming any and all talent with any and all connection to their motherland..
