Scott Parker and Avram Grant both sent personal messages to the Joint-Chairman David Gold on Sunday after it was revealed he was in hospital being treated for cholangitis and septicaemia.
Parker and Grant took time to send their best wishes when talking to the media after the 3-1 win against Liverpool. The Board and all at the club have also sent their very best wishes to the Chairman, who was first taken ill on Wednesday evening.
Speaking earlier on Sunday, his daughter Jacqueline Gold said: "I saw my dad this morning and he is very poorly with cholangitis and septicaemia. He is on powerful antibiotics and we hope to see an improvement in the next few days.
"He asked me to be at the Liverpool game today on his behalf and is absolutely devastated he could not be there himself." She added that he had wished the team and the manager well before the game.
Opening goalscorer and man of the match, Parker said: "
We heard just before kick-off that the Chairman's not too well. So obviously our thoughts are with him. Hopefully, that result's made it a little bit better for him."The manager added: "I want to wish David Gold well, he is a great guy. We missed him, especially me because I always speak to him before the game when he comes to my office. This win is for him. He comes every Friday to the training ground. He is always positive, always smiling. We missed him today."
