Everton legend Kevin Sheedy has been diagnosed with bowel cancer.

The 52-year-old, who is currently a youth coach at the academy at Finch Farm will undergo surgery later this week. 

Sheeds was a star in the all conquering trophy winning Everton team of the 80's, making 369 appearances scoring 97 goals.

Sheeds said: "It's not ideal but I have to remain positive. After a period of rehabilitation I will return to my coaching role at Everton.

"There is a history in the family. It's so important that people don't ignore the early signs and symptoms and don't be afraid to consult a GP."

Best wishes to Sheeds from all at Blue Kipper.

These days we hear many times 'He has a wand of a left foot', well this guy had a magical wand of a left foot. I remember the penalties, the goalie should have had a stool to sit on coz he was never getting there. We are all thinking of you Kevin.

I'm 52, and I have a form of Leukaemia, and the messages from Sheeds are massively important: identifying illnesses early, and dealing with them positively. It's advice that we all need to take on board. Speedy recovery, Sheeds, still my favourite all-time outfield player.
