BEARGER 1,829 Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 MP lodges Fernando Ricksen motion at House of Commons 26th September Motion celebrating Fernando Ricksen lodged by MP at Westminster By Stewart Paterson @PatersonHTPolitical Correspondent (2) A MOTION celebrating the life of former Rangers captain Fernando Ricksen, who died last week, has been lodged at the House of Commons by a Glasgow MP. The motion, by South West SNP MP Chris Stephens, whose constituency includes Ibrox Stadium, notes the “deepest sadness” at the Ibrox legend’s passing after a long battle with Motor Neurone Disease. Mr Stephens recognised his career in Netherlands, Scotland and Russia and the “inspiring way he fought against his illness both raising awareness and funds for the Fernando Ricksen Foundation which aims to help others suffering from the incurable disease.” It has been signed by six other MPs so far from Labour, Conservatives and the SNP. It also states the house: “extends sincere sympathy to his wife Veronika, his daughter Isabella and all his family, friends and in the football family who are mourning his loss.” The full text of the motion is below. "That this House notes with the deepest sadness the passing of Fernando Ricksen, the former captain of Rangers Football Club and Netherlands International who died on 18 September 2019 at the age of 43 after a heroic and brave battle with the life-shortening nerve and brain illness Motor Neurone Disease; recognises his huge contribution to football, winning titles in the Netherlands with Fortune Sittard and AZ Alkmaar, seven trophies including two league titles in Scotland with Rangers FC before going on to win UEFA Cup and UEFA Super Cup with Zenit St Petersburg in 2008; pays tribute to the brave and inspiring way he fought against his illness both raising awareness and funds for the Fernando Ricksen Foundation which aims to help others suffering from the incurable disease; and extends sincere sympathy to his wife Veronika, his daughter Isabella and all his family, friends and in the football family who are mourning his loss." 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
