Sad story that somebody who done so much for our country has to now sell their medals to pay for care.

A disgrace - yet the red carpet and gravy train is eagerly rolled out to filth who have never contributed anything to this country.

what a hero, so brave and the courage he had :icon_sorry:, those 3 words have lost their meaning these days when they are used to describe 'sports stars' :doh

i dont understand why he has to sell them, if he has no money social services should be paying for his care :NoNo:

Just shows what a country this has become.

i wonder if this is for a private care package and not thru social services :Erm:

It says private care, but no matter he should be cared for, what a fantasic record :xxgrinning--00xx3:
