Angus was a really good player and captain during some of the darkest days of the club 4 or 5 years ago, when many thought we were going down the pan. He fully deserved his move to Barnsley and the resulting fee helped to pay off some of the club's debt. Get well soon Angus.

Very sad news for such a young person that transformed his career,I remember being near him chanting and celebrating in the pop side with the fans against barrow (he was suspended)2-2 , he effectively kept us up against the odds. I’m sure hull will look after him

Sad news indeed. All the best in your recovery Angus.
Met him at Guiseley outside the pub when he was banned but had already helped to save us from relegation.
Surprised but delighted for him when he got his move to Barnsley and it was great to see him play in the red shirt.
All the best Angus.

Not good news, but I'm sure he will take the positives from the likes of Chris Todd who have come through cancer treatment. However, having been through chemo/radiotherapy myself, the next few months will not be easy for Angus. To him, and anyone else going through it, the best advice I was given was to STAY POSITIVE (although not easy at times)

Yes all the best to him, and I am glad that you have come out the other side.

The word cancer has such negative connotations, in the 21st century it is eminently treatable, he is young, fit and diagnosed in the early stages, the chances of a full recovery are very good.

Doesn't make it any less distressing. The treatment is an ordeal, I know from personal experience.
I wish Angus all the best.
