Sad, good luck to him and his family

Good luck to the family.

Always liked to watch him as a player, kind of like David Ginola, nice to watch a highlights reel of but not enough hard work. Incredibly sad reason to retire, hope it ends well.

Heart goes out to his poor son and family.

Hope him and his nipper come through.

that's awful, hope all goes well and who knows he might have a season or two left when his son is better.

Some things come first, best of luck to him and his son.

Steed Malbranque's representatives have dismissed reports the Frenchman has retired from football to care for an ill family member.

Reports at the weekend suggested the former Fulham, Spurs and Sunderland midfielder had quit St Etienne as his young son was suffering from cancer.

But Malbranque's representatives have released a statement saying he does not have a son and has not quit football.
