Sad news out of Denmark this morning: Danish legend Brian Laudrup has been diagnosed with cancer. According to reports, the former Bayern Munich/Milan/Rangers/Ajax striker has a “mild case of lymphoma” and will begin treatment immediately.
Laudrup’s “shocked by the news”, but promises to continue his current gig commentating on Champions League games for Danish TV while undergoing treatment. Doctors are “optimistic” given the early stage of the disease when discovered.
Get well, Brian.

It’s so easy to forget just how good he was on the ball, a skill not doubt acquired from his older brother, Michael.


Delightful footballer. God do I miss those days.
Well said. Get well soon Brian.
This sad note reminded me of that.
“That” was this.
