Liverpool legend David Fairclough offers encouraging update after suffering a stroke

Liverpool legend David Fairclough has told fans he is doing “well” after suffering a stroke.

Fairclough, 65, who was known as “Super Sub” because of his goalscoring exploits from the bench, has been cared for in hospital since falling ill last week. And on Monday, he thanked supporters for their “kind thoughts and messages”.

The former Reds striker tweeted: “Thank you everyone for your kind thoughts and messages of support. I’m a few days into my recovery now and things are going well, stronger and better by the day. Looking forward to a quick and full recovery. Thanks, David.”
