Hughton reveals cancer battle

Chris Hughton, the former manager of Tottenham Hotspur, Newcastle United, and Brighton, has revealed his recent battle with prostate cancer.

The 67-year-old disclosed that he underwent successful surgery last May and has since received a clean bill of health.

Hughton decided to speak out to raise awareness, particularly among Black men who face a higher risk of the disease.

He noted that his diagnosis came just one year after his wife was treated for breast cancer, prompting a significant shift in his personal priorities.
