Terrible news emanating from Goodison today in that Everton’s academy coach, Kevin Sheedy has been diagnosed with bowel cancer and will undergo surgery later this week.

Former Ireland international Sheedy, who played 369 times in ten years at Everton between 1982 and 1992, stoically reacted thus: ”It is not ideal, but I have to remain positive.”

There’s an understatement for you.

Best of luck Kev, and a huge ‘get well soon’ to the man who once flicked the ‘Vs’ at The Kop…

   Completely gutted to hear the news today. One of the greatest ever toffees and probably one of the most undervalued Irish players to ever kick a ball.

   Best of luck to him.

   Ha, not ideal indeed. Reminds me of some old guy I saw on some shite rescue programme – he’d fallen down a cliff and landed on a small ledge. He rang 999 and said he was in a spot of bother. Can’t argue with that.
