Jim Stynes Loses Battle With Cancer

For those who may be wondering who this man is, he was an Irish immigrant who moved to Australia and became one of Australian footballs most beloved stars. He also set up a foundation called, "Reach," which helped troubled teens.

He has been battling cancer and died Tuesday 20th of march at 8:30am AEST at the age of 45, leaving behind a wife and two kids.

May he rest in peace.

    So sad, he was such a great man and such a good role model for kids. He fought his battle hard but it beat him in the end.

    RIP Jim :'(

    This is the first I ever heard of him, but he was clearly a very remarkable and decent man: http://www.reach.org.au/about-reach/ 45 is young.

    Just when you think you've got it all figured out, someone changes the rules.
