Following the announcement that former Ipswich Town player and manager George Burley is undergoing cancer treatment, BBC Radio Suffolk sports editor Graeme McLoughlin said: "George just loves this club. He's continued to do so ever since his reign as boss came to an end.

"He wishes the club so well always and continues to be a real positive figurehead for the Town."

Reflecting on seeing Burley at an event before the East Anglian derby against Norwich City in April, McLoughlin added: "He was so buoyant and happy. It's comforting to see that Ipswich Town will be there for him and his family.

"George Burley is a legendary figure at this club. Here at BBC Radio Suffolk, we all wish him the best."
