Former Liverpool and England goalkeeper Ray Clemence has revealed that he is in remission from cancer.
The 65-year-old suffered the disease for a second time last year when he discovered a tumour at the base of his spine through an MRI scan.
"It was a shock," Clemence told the Daily Mail. "Chemotherapy is so hard. You feel ill everywhere. At the start of this year I'd lost most of my hair and felt dreadful. I'd put on that weight too.
"I was right in the middle of the woods but now I'm on the outside of the woods. I'm not out completely yet. I'm in remission and the tumour, the last time they looked, had reduced by 50%."
Clemence was first diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2005.
