Former Scotland winger Kenny Logan has revealed he has been treated for prostate cancer.
The 50-year-old said the diagnosis had come out of the blue and he had surgery earlier this year.
Speaking to BBC Breakfast, he recalled: “I got a wellness check and sat down with the guy. He said to me: ‘Everything’s fine, your hormones are fine but your prostate is high.’
Thanks to @sallynugent for being lovely today on the @BBCBreakfast sofa I was nervous about sharing but wanted to get the message out there. I found I had prostate cancer by accident. If you have symptoms it might be too late. Guys go get tested,simple and could save your life. https://t.co/zM5hfkr1CO

“I got checked and very quickly, within three or four months, I had biopsies. There was something there but we’d just keep an eye on it.
“This year, February 7, I was diagnosed with prostate cancer which was a huge shock. I ended up deciding to take it out so I’m three months since the operation, had the prostate out and I’m probably 95% back to normal.
“It was hard because when you’re told you’ve got cancer… I didn’t see it coming. No symptoms whatsoever.”
