Former Fulham, Birmingham and West Brom striker Geoff Horsfield has revealed he is suffering from testicular cancer. The 34-year-old, who was released by Sheffield United last summer, 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 Iā€™m going in for surgery next Thursday. ā€œThe surgeon has told me that this is the end of my professional career, but thatā€™s at the back of my mind now.ā€ Horsfield began his career at Scarborough in 1992, and his scoring exploits at Halifax earned him a Ā£300,000 move to Fulham in 1996. He said: "Iā€™ve had 10 good years with Fulham, Birmingham, Wigan, West Brom and all the other clubs Iā€™ve played for and enjoyed it. ā€œBut all Iā€™m thinking about now is beating this. Iā€™ve always been a fighter right through my football career and Iā€™m going to fight this and win.ā€ Horsfield has been told he has a good chance of recovery after the diagnosis was made early. ā€œThe specialist told me I did well to find the lump because it is so small,ā€ he added. Horsfield, who finished last season on loan at Scunthorpe, had been training recently with League One Walsall. The Barnsley-born forward has also played for Wigan, Leeds and Leicester. AND WITTON! Best wishes to Geoff, letā€™s hope he gets through it. ---

Best of luck Geoff! I do remember you as a fighter, especially the time you had me pinned up against the Social Club wall, because I didnā€™t have a wage packet for you! Thanks to Colin Rose for pulling you off, and sending you to Ray Ranson to explain why you wernā€™t getting paid. Iā€™ve followed your career ever since, and I honestly hope its not over. ---

Gary clearly thinks that he can bring in someone better, and to do that he first needs to move players on who he doesnā€™t rate. I think fullback has been a problem position for about a month now. ---
