Shaka Hislop: diagnosed with prostate cancer


Recommended Posts

Glad he is OK. Was watching him talk in the intro to the Milan-Madrid game when he hit the floor. 
co presenter calls for medic and a cut to commercial.

About 30 mins into game a very confused world feed announcer (didn’t know what happened) had message for American audience that Shaka was ok

This is really sad, done a lot for the club, particularly for his off field stuff. Hope Wor flags do something, while he’s still alive.

 

 

 


Awful news. He’s massively still in invested in Newcastle like.  Done a fair bit of work with the university since getting his honorary and is by all accounts an absolute gentleman.

Shaka was instrumental in the FBI’s investigation into FIFA corruption and reforming how CONCAFAC is managed. Has consistently spoken up for the rights of players and the grassroots game as the head of the CONCAFAC players association. He has a lot of integrity and has used his influence consistently for the forces of good. Can’t say enough good things about him. Oh and his pro-Newcastle bias as a commentator for North American broadcasts is a breath of fresh air.
