Former Coventry City goalkeeping coach Gordon Banks has kidney cancer again.
Banks, who was at City for nearly a year and worked with Steve Ogrizovic, is suffering from kidney cancer for a second time.
Having lost one kidney to the disease ten years ago, the former England keeper is receiving chemotherapy treatment after blood tests showed the other is now affected.
In an interview with the Sunday Mirror, Banks said: "Last year we went on our annual holiday to Florida. A week later I couldn't sleep and then I couldn't even stand due to the pain.
"I was sent straight to hospital where they told me I had cancer. I was so shocked when they told me it was my kidney.
"They put me straight on medication and I am taking chemotherapy tablets three times a day for a month and then I am to have two months off them.
"The last time I had the cancer it was very large but they were able to remove the kidney and take the cancer away with it.
"We hope medication will make this cancer small enough for them to operate and carry out electrical treatment to break it up. But if it grows they will have to remove (the kidney) and I'll need a replacement."
