When Dylan Tombides found a lump at 17, he was told it was just a cyst.

All he cared about was breaking into the West Ham team and passing his driving test.

Then, during a random drugs test at the Under-17 World Cup, doctors discovered the truth. Dylan had cancer.

Within days, he had surgery. By the weekend, he was starting chemotherapy.

But he never stopped acting like a footballer.

He kept training. Kept smiling. Kept fighting.

In 2012, Sam Allardyce gave him his West Ham debut at just 18 years old.

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

He played four games in eight days.

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

Dylan passed away later that year aged just 20.

West Ham retired his number 38 shirt.

Before Dylan, the only player to receive that honour was Bobby Moore.

That is how long my best friend, amazing wife, caring and loving mother has been SOBER! It has been special to see this journey you have taken from the first photo when you are in rehab to the last photo this past weekend. It has not been easy or smooth sailing to see the person you are now but you have taken everything you have learned at rehab, have used those skills, developed more skills, taken it one day at a time and now have grown and evolved into who you are 10 years later. The journey and path is never over for someone in recovery but I know you are stronger than ever and will be able to tackle any challenge that may arise in the future. The kids and I are so proud of you! Keep going! One day at a time! We love you! ❤️😘

To anyone who is struggling with addiction, let me say that life on the other side, the sober side…. is amazing and achievable. I’ve seen it first hand with my wife but also with my other friends. I’ve also been lucky enough to meet so many amazing people over the last 10 years that are living a life like my wife. Sober. Happy. Enjoying life. And also telling me that they could never imagine life could be like this when they were in the thralls of their addiction. Sobriety is possible. You have to want it. Your loved ones can only do so much. You first have to admit that you have a problem, an addiction, and you want to get sober. Once you do that, there are millions of people who are living a sober life that want to help other people live sober. You have to ask for help. Whether it be loved ones or someone in the sober community. I’ve been lucky to be part of this community with my wife and it’s an amazing, loving, caring community. There is no judgement. Everybody’s ego is checked at the door. All they want is to help one another on their path of sobriety.

Addiction doesn’t have to be a life sentence. You just have to want to be sober. Nobody can want it more than you. There are people out there wanting to help but you have to take the first step. Wishing everyone who is dealing with addiction that they find the path to sobriety. ❤️

“Live every moment like it’s your last.”

For Paul’s 50th birthday, friends and family surprised him on a flight abroad after his diagnosis. He sadly passed away soon after, but this moment of love and joy will never be forgotten.

Hey @Morrisons I will never buy ONE thing from you ever again unless this guy, trying to stop shoplifting, is reinstated.

A 14 year old boy lied about his age so that he could work nights and support his little sister after his parents died.

The authorities tried to charge him for illegal working. Luckily a grounded judge saved the day.👏🏻
