In his emotional post, the 27-year-old ex-Arsenal star said: “I have written and unwritten this so many times and still can’t find the right words to say and don’t know if I ever will.
“On Tuesday evening my wife lost her long battle against cancer….”
“Laura is the strongest, bravest and most loving person I have ever met.
“Even though everything she was going through, she continued to smile, never letting anything get in the way of having a good time and making a lifetime of memories.
“We have cried, laughed and danced our way through some tough times.
“I will cherish every moment we spent together from the first time we meet to the moment you peacefully passed.
“I know that you will be looking down on me and continuing to inspire me every day.
“Thank you to everyone that has supported myself and both families through this incredibly difficult time.
“Truly fortunate to have the most amazing family and friends!
“I Love You Always & Forever .”
