Mate kind of knows him, and is insistent that he doesn't have a son like.


I thought that but as Bramble has tweeted you would expect him to know whether Steed has a son

Given the internet traffic on it I cannot imagine a denial hadn't been forthcoming if it wasn't true.
 
My friend works for an organization he had to deal with. He would only go in to the company if my mate was there and often took the kids. He knew the daughters but was not aware of any sons, so not to say he hasn't got sons but my mate knows him fairly well and was surprised about a son
 
Steed was notoriously quiet at SAFC, just because he played on the pitch with bramble et al doesn't mean they knew him outside of football.

Henry Winter and others were simply saying best wishes even though he didn't know whether it was true.

Seems everyone else is doing the same and so even with no official word from anyone, enough people have said "best wishes just in case" that it's become "official"

Malbranque dismisses quit stories

(UKPA) – 24 minutes ago

Steed Malbranque's representatives have dismissed reports the former Fulham, Tottenham and Sunderland midfielder has retired from football to care for an ill family member.

Reports emerging from France over the weekend, and repeated in a number of British publications, claimed that the 31-year-old, who joined French outfit St Etienne this summer, had decided to quit as his young son was suffering from cancer.

But in a statement released to Press Association Sport by solicitors working on the instruction of Malbranque's agent, Sebastien Boisseau, it is made clear that the Frenchman does not have a son and that no member of his immediate family is in ill health. "Steed has read with concern the recent stories currently circulating about him and his family," read the statement which as issued by London-based solicitors Thomas Cooper.

"He would like to reassure all of his friends in England and throughout world football that these stories are wholly without foundation.

"Steed does not have a son and his immediate family are all in good health. Steed does not know the origin of these stories but would like to stress that they are without merit.

"He trusts that they will now cease immediately."

Malbranque's switch to St Etienne last month ended a 10-year stay in English football, during which time he made a total of 336 Premier League appearances.

After impressing at Lyon following his debut for the club in 1998, Malbranque secured a move to Fulham in 2001 and went on to make over 200 appearances for the west London club.

Malbranque transferred to Tottenham in the summer of 2006, going on to make over 60 appearances, before joining Sunderland in 2008.
 
I thought he didnt have a son, because two season ago on the last home game of the season, I was near the home bench when steed came walking over to see his family members and to get them on the pitch for the lap of honour. Anyway I seen his wife hand him over his daughter, and there was no clear indication that he had a son.

The players were actually quite pissed off with us fans ecspecially bardsley, as it was a struggle for them to get their kids onto the pitch as we were in the way.
 
Henry Winter deserves more blame he tweeted the story days ago but has since deleted the tweet.
 
Christ alive, how f***ing incompetent are the journos who passed this one on?

Journo's just browse social networking sites etc now, pack of lazy bastards that others take to be ITK when in fact they just repeat the rumours they pick up.

So the OP who started the, now removed, thread was telling the truth.

And a lot should be apologising to him.

Aye. The lad only signed up to say he was sure that Steed doesn't have a son, and was roundly abused for his trouble. Those who slated him will know who they are, and should be relieved the thread was deleted.
 
Exactly why i didnt say owt at all during this time. Always knew it was a lie after reading one random **** on twatter post it.
