Wrexham defender Ben Tozer has shared the heartbreaking story of his dad tragically dying of leukaemia just 48 hours after being diagnosed.
Tozer, a pillar of Wrexham's promotion-winning team last season, learned on Saturday that dad Keith had been diagnosed with a form of cancer which was treatable. Requiring brain surgery on Sunday night, the operation "went positively" before "the unthinkable happened" only a day later.
In a heartbreaking post on Twitter, Tozer urged people not to leave it too late before being checked, as fans sent their condolences to him and his family. "On Saturday, I was told my Dad has Leukaemia but it's treatable," the former Cheltenham and Northampton centre-back, 33, wrote.
