@AFTVMedia Thanks but I'm not reading all that. RT if you hate Arsenal.

Quite nervous for the game tomorrow. By far the biggest game PSG have had since I started supporting them this morning

[FTBL_Planet @FTBL_Planet]

When Dylan Tombides found a lump, he was still a teenager trying to make his way at West Ham.

He went to a local doctor and was told it was a benign cyst.

He was 17, living away from home, trying to become a footballer, and the last thing on his mind was cancer.

“All I was thinking about was getting in the West Ham team and taking my driving test.”

Then he went away with Australia to the Under-17 World Cup in Mexico.

After the last game, he was selected for a random drugs test.

The result came back with two possibilities.

He had either taken a banned substance, or there was a tumour in his body.

Dylan knew which one it was.

He came back to England on the Thursday.

On the Friday, West Ham arranged the scan.

By the Monday, he had his testicle removed.

By the weekend, he was starting chemotherapy.

His mum Tracy tried to give him something to hold on to.

“I believe you’re going to be a cancer patient for a very short time, but you’ll be a professional athlete for a long, long time.”

So Dylan treated it like that.

He dealt with the treatment when he had to.

But whenever his body let him, he went back to being a footballer.

He kept going into training.

He kept trying to build himself back up.

And inside West Ham, people could not believe what they were seeing.

Carlton Cole later said nobody at the club really knew what to do with it at first.

“It was a difficult situation, especially for someone so young, but the boy just kept on going.”

Matt Jarvis came in that summer and did not even realise straight away what Dylan had already been through.

“I only ever saw him smiling.”

That was what made it so hard to understand.

Dylan was going through something most people could not imagine, and yet around the club he was still smiling, still training, still trying to get closer to the first team.

Then, on the 25th of September 2012, Sam Allardyce gave him that moment.

West Ham were playing Wigan in the League Cup at Upton Park.

Dylan came on for his debut with six minutes left.

He was 18.

Just over a year earlier, he had been told he had cancer.

Allardyce never forgot it.

“He was one of the bravest characters I have ever met.”

“Football was his life, and he didn’t miss a day’s training even when he wasn’t fit enough to train because of his treatment.”

By December, he was back on high-dose chemotherapy.

He needed stem-cell transplants.

Then in January 2014, after everything his body had already been through, he still went to play for Australia at the AFC Under-22 Championship.

Four games in eight days.

When he returned to England, he was told the treatment was no longer working.

Dylan passed away on the 18th of April 2014.

He was 20 years old.

The next day, West Ham played Crystal Palace at Upton Park.

His dad Jim and his brother Taylor walked out and laid his number 38 shirt on the centre spot.

West Ham then retired the number.

Before Dylan, the only player in the club’s history to receive that honour was Bobby Moore.

A dream come true to start at Stamford Bridge for my Premier League debut.

I’d like to thank all the Chelsea medical staff, everyone at St Mary’s Hospital, my teammates, and all the fans for their great support.

I can’t wait to be back playing in front of everyone very soon.

Listen, my friends - this is very important.

Right now in Poland we have the biggest charity action, helping young warriors fighting cancer. Łatwogang and Bedoes 2115 are doing a crazy good job for @fundacjacancer - already more than 38 million PLN raised. Big respect. But we can do more. Esports family - this is our moment.
So… I give something very special for donation. The most valuable skin from my collection — iconic Karambit | Fade “motar2k”. For me? Priceless. So many memories, so many beautiful moments on my esports road. Tell me… is there a more legendary knife in CS? Today, we make it even more special.
Simple rules - starting price $5,000. You write your offer in the comments under this post or DM me. Tomorrow at 1 PM I contact highest offer and we make everything through official charity channels.
Let’s show the world how strong the esports family is 💪
