As a fairly new Dad I read this with tears in my eyes and a massive lump in my throat

Shame Sissoko couldn't follow Pep's lead and went for an elbow instead of a handshake.

But seriously that story was truly gutting, but also very inspiring and well written.

I lost it at the part about the 'memory box' they got from the hospital. I don't even have children or possess any real desire to procreate, but wow.

Thanks for sharing, it's sometimes easy to forget that footballers are human beings first and foremost.

I can't begin to imagine how that must've felt. fudging hell. Glad to hear they got a healthy one later on. Gutting story.

I'm a bit late, but congrats ! There's no feeling to describe when you first see that little thing come into the world. For me, my life and personal worries sort of became insignificant/ended, it was all for that little thing (now he's 20, not so little now lol).

Beautiful story
