Armstrong retires

[Wycombe Royal]

All the best Chris. Didn't play much due to injury, and now obviously illness but still managed to win POTS.

[EASTENDER MARKY]

Sad news.

A much better left back than Ian Harte.

[heathrow royal]

Shame his career has come to an end at an early age. All the best for the future stretch

[Kitson12]

RIP

You really are a twat aren't you.

Thanks Chris for being a fantastic service of the club I love. You'll be missed.

What the hell is up with that?


You really are a typical Reading fan mongtard.

He's not dead us he? You don't say RIP if he's still alive you idiot.

Good luck Stretch,

You epitomized the very best characteristics
in my favourite kind of player, heart, guts, commitment.

[muddyfeet]

[rfcjoe]

Yeah, KitsLOLn12.

[cmonurz]

Official text - has retired from professional football today having been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in late 2009.

All the best Chris. A great player.

Jesus, what awful news.

All the best for the future, Stretch.

i think its shameful that the club have attempted to deflect criticism over the man city ticket fiasco by announcing this news.............
oh

[Ark Royal]

Very sad news. MS is a dreadful disease. Good luck and best wishes to Stretch and his family.

[southbank1871]

Wonder if the club might do a charity match with proceeds going to the MS Society or something?

[Snowball]

IMO, PotS 2010-11

Unless they're is something in it for the club, there is no chance.

[North Somerset Royal]

Very sad news and I hope that the MS is in remission and that Chris remains fit enough to lead a normal life. Always gave 100% and put in some excellent performances.

[No Fixed Abode]

Wonder if the club might do a charity match with proceeds going to the MS Society or something?

Good idea, but they'll only issue 10 tickets for it, as they don't see the demand.

It would be good PR and they just could tie it in to a friendly in the close season.
