I was shocked to read this news on the BBC just now. They have three young kids.

I think we can all put aside our hostility to the guy at a time like this.

Tragic.

 
Wow, just saw this online too. Yep, no matter what my thoughts are on the guy this is massively sad. Poor children :(

 
Awful news... My thoughts and prayers are with Rio and his family at this very tragic time.

 
Football doesn't matter, it really is just a game.

Horrible, horrible news, thoughts are with Rio and his family.

 
I hope she rests in peace and that he and their children can find some solace at this time.

 
Said it elsewhere but horrendous for any young family. Rio didn't feature for QPR after the March 22nd match but apparently it was her second bout of it. Credit to any man who can function having such a pernicious thing in their life.

 
Gut wrenching, f**k cancer, f**k it to f**king hell. Poor Rio Ferdinand, their children and who family. Devastating. It probably explains why he hasn't played much for QPR recently, let's be honest there's no way he could concentrate on football, who could?

May she rest in peace.

 
Whatever our feelings towards Rio, this is very sad news. RIP. 

 
Very sad really feel for him and their poor kids, devastating for them to lose their mum at that age xx

 
Her cancer must have progressed quite rapidly. Sorry to hear this, RIP to his wife. Football is football at the end of the day, it's entertainment, but off the field footballers are just normal people with families, and for anyone to lose someone close to them is a terrible thing to endure so hopefully he can pull through this and stay strong for his children. 

 
I've never been Rio's biggest fan but I feel for him and his children! 

Condolences to Rio, his children and the rest of his extended family on this sad news. 

 
Very sad. My wife and I were just talking this week about how difficult it would be to have to tell our daughter that one of us had cancer. So tough on children.

 
Rio ... Despite our past all Chelsea fans stand with you today...I hope you and your children find strength from the football community to which you have given a great deal. Football wouldn't be football without rivalry however my heart goes out to you from one family man to another

May Rebecca rest in peace

 
Agree with all the sentiments above. Football is nothing at a time like this.

How tragic, R.I.P Rebecca.

 
It's times like this that life gets thrown into perspective. 

Forget all past resentment now. I've lost a loved one to cancer and it is something I wish on absolutely nobody, and I mean nobody.
