Ipswich legend Burley being treated for cancer

Date:

Former Ipswich Town player and manager George Burley is undergoing cancer treatment, the Premier League club have said.

The ex-Scotland international, who also managed the national team from January 2008 to November 2009, was diagnosed after feeling unwell earlier this year.

Burley, 68, played for Ipswich from 1973 to 1985 and completed 500 appearances for the club. He was manager at Ipswich from 1994 to 2002.

“It has been a difficult time, but I am feeling much brighter now,” Burley said. “In fact, I am able to get to matches at Portman Road and I am enjoying watching the team playing back in the Premier League.”
