Moore to carry on at Pools despite cancer diagnosis

Ronnie Moore took Rotherham up to the Championship in 2001 where he kept them for four seasons

Ronnie Moore will carry on working in his role as chief scout at Hartlepool United despite being diagnosed with cancer.

Moore, 72, announced that he has myeloma, a form of blood cancer that is not curable but manageable and for which he will undergo treatment in the coming months.

He was a popular manager in the EFL of Rotherham United, Oldham Athletic, Tranmere Rovers and Hartlepool.

Moore said that he is still feeling well and walking regularly and wants to remain active.

He led Rotherham to two promotions up to the Championship and pulled off survival escapes with Oldham and Hartlepool.

Those clubs where he enjoys legendary status have been quick to send him their well wishes.
