A promising Scots footballer has begun treatment after being diagnosed with cancer aged just 26. Dozens of heartfelt messages have poured in for Pollok FC midfielder Dylan Dykes with teammates donning ‘get well soon’ tops ahead of his side’s Scottish Cup clash with Annan Athletic.
Dykes was in attendance on Monday evening as he watched his fellow players warming up for the second round match while they wore the personalised white t-shirts. Pollok FC chiefs have also paid tribute to the young footballer, who they say “continues to be a valued member of the team”.
A statement from the West of Scotland Premier League side said: “For those of you who are able to attend the match tonight and for those who may be watching on television you will see during the warm up that all of the Pollok players will be wearing tops with a public display of their support for teammate Dylan Dykes.
