Horsfield reveals cancer battle
The 34-year-old has been forced to retire as a result and will undergo surgery next week. He told the Daily Mirror: "I was diagnosed last Friday and I'm going in for surgery next Thursday. "The surgeon has told me that this is the end of my professional career, but that's at the back of my mind now." He said: "I've had 10 good years with Fulham, Birmingham, Wigan, West Brom and all the other clubs I've played for and enjoyed it. "But all I'm thinking about now is beating this. I've always been a fighter right through my football career and I'm going to fight this and win." Horsfield has been told he has a good chance of recovery after the diagnosis was made early. "The specialist told me I did well to find the lump because it is so small," he added.
Good luck Geoff. Is there a more horrible disease around, depressing story i know but it just makes you stop and think. Several family friends have been fighting cancer this year and one is starting to lose his battle.
