At 45, he has just been admitted to hospital in critical condition.

Keep fighting Joost
Good luck to him it's a bastard of a disease. In the same week that MND campaigner Gordon Aikman was taken by the same cruel condition. He campaigned not only for MND sufferers but Care workers, Carers and health professionals too.
No doubt His Amazing World Cup performance in 1995 Takes the Cake. A couple of friends in mind I think was back sometime around the World Trade Center bombing was talking about this guy doing a lot of Coke and hanging around with prostitutes or something I can't remember the story. Does anybody remember that?
