Kieron Dyer needs a liver transplant

[Rooney24]

Best wishes to him. Great player when he was on it. I remember there were rumours at various points that United were after him.

Former England midfielder Kieron Dyer needs to have a liver transplant, his club Ipswich have confirmed.

Dyer, who coaches Ipswich's under-23 side, has primary sclerosing cholangitis and was admitted to hospital on Wednesday for tests.
The 42-year-old former Newcastle, West Ham, QPR and Middlesbrough player has been in his current role for a year.
"Kieron has been managing problems with his liver for the past couple of years," an Ipswich statement said.
Dyer, who won 33 England caps between 1999 and 2007, is now awaiting test results to discover when he will have to undergo his transplant.
"Unfortunately, I was (previously) diagnosed with a condition of the liver that would lead to me one day needing a transplant," he said.
"I see myself as a very positive person that will overcome this minor setback.
"I'm very grateful to the club, supporters and the general public for their messages of support over the past week.
"I would like to ask everyone now to respect my privacy, and my family's privacy."

Not his biggest fan, far from it, but I wish him a speedy recovery

Why?

Why?

Think that line is a bit of a meme now on the CAF. Someone said that when Pogba got coronavirus

 

[Classical Mechanic]

Thought that he was looking really old for his age. I guess this is why. Hope that he gets the transplant and it goes well.

A week ago he was on tv and many people on Twitter were commenting that his eyes were very yellow. Didn’t look well at all

CM 01/02 legend, good luck to him.

On a more depressing CM 01/02 note, I found out yesterday that Maxim Tsigalko passed away last year.

Yes it was the Newcastle against Spurs, his eyes were so clearly yellow, I just assumed it was a pre existing thing, I wonder if that's what triggered him getting checked out.

Hope he comes through it well. Whenever I think of him I'm always reminded of when a local journalist was going round interviewing the public about Ipswich's poor form and he chose Dyer at the time but was oblivious to the fact he was in the first team.

Thoughts to him and his family. Wish him all the best.

I was wheel scrolling awaiting the conclusion as it was sure to be really bad or really good news.

Hopefully, that's the last of his tribulations with his liver.

Great news, and hopefully he's on the mend. Didn't realise he's been going through this for 2 years. That sounds gruelling.

Also didn't realise he was only a few years older than me, I remember him making a name for himself when I was in high school.

 

[Vidyoyo]

Love a good speedy recovery story

Random thought, if K McKenna becomes United manager someday then dyer may be part of the team he brings with him

Loathe to recommend 'that' website to anyone but the full article is well worth a read. Quite touching.
