Feyenoord Fans Banner Tribute To Terminally Ill Fan

Sometimes you are reminded why you fell in love with football in the first place...

A terminally ill Feyenoord fan was given the greatest surprise of his life when he turned up to watch his side being put through their paces ahead of the new season.
Fans of the Dutch side traditionally turn up in numbers to watch the club's first pre-season training session, but this time there was a difference.
Lifelong fan Rooie Marck was told he had terminal cancer and had days to live, and his dying wish was to see Feyenoord again.

His friends brought him to the training session in his bed, but little did he know that the huge crowd would be chanting his name, lighting flares and unleashing a huge banner of him.
In floods of tears, Rooie met his heroes before being helped to meet the crowd, who were singing 'You'll Never Walk Alone.'
Tragically, Rooie died just three days after this footage was taken at Feyenoord's first pre-season training session a couple of weeks ago.
But the club and its fans certainly left him with a special memory.

Lovely story up until the YNWA bit.

Scouse @#%&!s

010 in the area.

Nice touch...

Good stuff, like YNWA tbh.

Ajax > Feyenoord

Not ashamed to admit that I seem to have something in my eye watching that.



YNWA sung at OT many years ago, before the vermin adopted it.

Hate the song obviously but who cares. That's brilliant.
