Lost a good mate to it a few years ago - it’s a nasty disease - I wish him all the luck in the world Mindset plays such a massive role in the outcome. I don’t wish to go on about me but i was shamed by a young boy into drying my eyes and starting to fight. Those who, like me, were low, did not do well. Puts so much into perspective and especially at a time of year where things come into sharp focus |

Also making the cut is our new central defender Dennis Waterman (4th one in the pic) Well done all good job! Attachments:

Seeing what Joey, the team and backroom staff have done in order to Support their colleague and friend out, makes me so proud to be a Gashead. |

Great effort by everybody - particular shout out to the lady who won the raffle to be there, and also had her long hair shaved. JB's two lads also had their heads shaved, they were like a comedy due on the live stream.

Nick Anderton: Bristol Rovers shave heads in support of Anderton's cancer diagnosis..ichef.bbci.co.uk/onesport/cps/800/cpsprodpb/59CF/production/_128319922_teampic.jpgBristol Rovers players including captain Paul Coutts (second left) shaved their heads in support of team-mate Nick Anderton ichef.bbci.co.uk/onesport/cps/800/cpsprodpb/A7EF/production/_128319924_joeypic.jpgJoey Barton said his team was going to be a "commentator's nightmare" when they next play as they will all have shaved heads Forty Bristol Rovers players, coaches and staff have shaved their heads in support of defender Nick Anderton, who is undergoing chemotherapy after being diagnosed with bone cancer last summer. Manager Joey Barton was among those who went under the clippers for the cause. Anderton, 26, was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in his femur and also had an operation in October. The club chose 16 January to go bald in honour of Anderton's squad number 16. "I just think it shows what everyone thought of Nick around the building," Rovers captain Paul Coutts told BBC Points West. "He played on pretty much from January last year, I think with what he thought was a sore knee, and it shows what sort of character he was. "He put his body on the line and helped us get promotion and the great scenes at the end of last season, and what he would give to be back in the dressing room with the lads, we just wanted to show our support to him." The club set up a GoFundMe page to raise money for Anderton and his family, with the total surpassing £32,000 as it stands. Barton said the aim was to "raise awareness" around the cause and money to support Anderton - whose contract with Rovers is due to expire this summer - during his treatment. "There's going to be some odd stares when we get to play games, a commentator's nightmare - a team of skinheads. But it's a phenomenal cause and it's the least we can do," Barton added. The head shaving took place at British Barbers Co in Clifton, Bristol, managed by Terry Joyce, who is a fan of rivals Bristol City. He took charge of shaving Barton and Coutts' hair, all while wearing the red shirt of the Robins. "I told them I'd do it on one condition: I don't want money or anything as it's for charity, but I'm wearing a City top. I've got his [Anderton's] number on the back, that's the best I can do," Joyce said. "Nick was a good bloke as well when he did come in here. I wish him all the best."

Fair play to Barton on this one, credit where it is due. (My account has not been hacked). Great to see the squad joining in with this. Solidarity brothers. Two things to mention.
1. Tom Nicholls must be breathing a huge sigh of relief.
2. Ironically Barton looks slightly less menacing with a skinhead cut.

Apparently our new loan goalkeeper has already had his hair shaved off in support.
Fair play to the lad!

Niamh has raised over £800 so far. Being of the female species, I have to say that having your long hair cut is a very big deal - well done to her for supporting two great causes. |

rah rah Randall joined in with the "skinhead cut" trim also...once a gas always a gas, Never understood him using those words, once a gas, i spoke to him about it and he even agreed it was unusual as should be Gashead but punky always was his own bloke. Great to chat to if you get the chance. Very affable and easy to approach |

I was 5h1t scared to be honest. It was seeing young kids and babies coming inti the chemo suite that gave me some perspective. Awful thing and very scary, tests are always an anxious time too |

I just watched an interview with Nick on Radio Lancashire BBC. It creased me it to be truthful, it’s a hard watch I would put it up on here if I knew how to do it, old fart that I am, but the man is a rock dealing with something much more serious than I certainly thought.
