Leeds United hero suffers family tragedy as he dies after ……….

Last year, the former full-back for Rushden and Diamonds, Reading, and other teams was given a stage four diagnosis of cholangiocarcinoma, a kind of bile duct cancer. Prior to their Scottish Premiership match against Ross County on Saturday morning, Celtic made the father of five’s passing public. The team led by Brendan Rodgers will honor their former player by donning black armbands.

With more than 1,000 contributions to a Go Fund Me campaign created in August of last year, the family has effectively raised £50,000 on Stuart’s behalf. In an effort to combat the disease, Gray also promised that a portion of the sales will be sent to the AMMF Cholangiocarcinoma charity.

During his playing career, Gray also played for Oxford United, Greenock Morton, and Reading. He also starred in the 2009 film “The Damned United,” where he played father Eddie on Don Revie’s championship-winning Leeds United team of the 1960s and 1970s.

“The thoughts and prayers of everyone at Celtic Park are with Stuart’s family and friends at this very sad time,” a statement from the former Celtic club said.

The center back will be allowed to depart Goodison Park this month as Everton looks to cut costs on payroll, according to manager Sean Dyche.

Leeds, led by Daniel Farke, is eager to bolster its team’s caliber as they aim to return to the Premier League.

Godfrey has had difficulty playing throughout the 2023–24 season since Dyche has found a reliable backup this year.
