Beat me to it thanks for sharing the link, hope that the 10k target can be reached, must be devastating news for him, knowing he can’t keep playing the game he loves

Get half the Saturday raffle money in it.

I'm not on that shite,

Anyone needing more information on Lewis's condition please visit the CRY (Cardiac Risk in the Young) website.

Absolutely gutted for Lewis. A career cut short at a young age and such a pivotal member of our historic promotion winning squad. Thanks for everything you did and achieved at Barrow Lewis. All the very best for your and your family's future.

Very sad news we have missed lewis this season when he has not been available I thought he would have been in the Barrow shirt for many seasons good luck to him for the future

Such sad, sad news. Apart from the playing side I think the hard part will be missing the changing room banter and camaraderie of team mates. Being a part of it.
I will remember Lewis as one of three players who came and helped us after the last game of the season when we were refurbishing the Crossbar.
Ok it was a fine imposed by Evatt---help us or a £1000 fine so we won out. They did pitch in though and one enjoyed it and wanted to come back and help but IE vetoed that one.
A surreal moment watching him pushing a supermarket trolley to the skip and tossing carpet tiles in. Wearing a red baseball cap, the other two shouting out of the window "Chesney can we order a kebab please"? Coronation St viewers will understand that one.
While football was his life he can't risk it taking his life.
Best of luck Lewis and don't be a stranger to Holker St.

Reminds me of Paul Ferris, member of our 1990 FA Trophy winners. Retired at 24 due to cruciate injury, became physio at Newcastle United, studied for an MA, then studied law and became a barrister. Just shows that, when one door closes, others open. I hope the fund raising might help Lewis study for a new career.

In case some are not familiar with his story, this is an article about him. Inspirational stuff.
