McCann reveals skin cancer diagnosis and recovery

Doncaster boss Grant McCann has opened up about a cancer battle that put football pressure into perspective.

What happened. Doncaster Rovers manager Grant McCann revealed he was diagnosed with malignant melanoma, a type of skin cancer, last December. He said he is "ok now" after receiving the diagnosis at the club's training ground.

• McCann said he could have had five to six weeks to live.
• He described the diagnosis as real pressure, not football management.
• The 46-year-old is in his second spell in charge of Doncaster.

“Fortunately I am ok now but I could have had five to six weeks to live.”
