Steeeeeed.

Terrible news baz ! hope his boy gets well.

Steed was a decent player while at spurs, i thought he always played his heart out.
Was sorry we sold him at the time, but new managers come in and want their own choice of players.

God that is sad news, my best wishes and thoughts are with him and his family at this time.

Earned his Spurs: Steed Malbranque played for Tottenham in Europe

The former Fulham and Tottenham Hotspur star signed for the
French outfit from Sunderland on a two-year deal earlier this summer,
but has now decided to call time on his playing career.
Malbranque
made just one appearance as a substitute for St Etienne and was left
out of the squad by coach Christophe Galtier for the league game against
Sochaux last weekend.
According to reports in France, the
31-year-old player has decided to hang up his boots in order to care for
his son, who has been diagnosed with cancer.
Malbranque was born in the Belgian city of Mouscron, but held French nationality and represented his country at under-21 level.

He started his club career at Lyon before switching to the
Premier League with Fulham, where he scored ten goals in his first
season and became a fans' favourite.
The skilful midfielder crossed London to join Tottenham in 2006 and moved on to Sunderland two years later.
He
made more than 100 appearances for the Black Cats before being deemed
surplus to requirements by manager Steve Bruce and deciding to return to
France.
