George Burley Undergoes Cancer Treatment

George Burley, the 68-year-old former Ipswich Town player and manager, is undergoing cancer treatment after being diagnosed earlier this year. Burley, who has made over 500 appearances as a player and managed 413 games for the club, expressed that he is feeling 'much brighter now' and is able to attend matches at Portman Road. He thanked the club for their support and requested privacy for his family during this challenging time. Current Ipswich manager Kieran McKenna praised Burley as one of the club's greatest figures and expressed support for his optimistic attitude in facing the illness. Chairman Mark Ashton also extended thoughts and support to Burley and his family. Burley's legacy includes leading Ipswich to significant victories, including an FA Cup win in 1978 and a UEFA Cup victory in 1981.
