Liam Miller among 500 people diagnosed of pancreatic cancer a year

Former Republic of Ireland soccer star Liam Miller is one of more than 500 people diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in the country this year.

The former Manchester United, Celtic, and Cork City midfielder, who grew up in Ovens, Co Cork, moved to the US in 2016 to play with Wilmington Hammerheads but recently returned to Cork for treatment.

The Irish Cancer Society marked World Pancreatic Cancer Day yesterday by calling for greater awareness of the signs and symptoms of the disease.
