Rejuvenated Sheedy looks on the bright side after cancer fight

If ever someone diagnosed with cancer can consider themselves lucky, then maybe that man is former Ireland international Kevin Sheedy.

In May of last year, he had a bowel tumour removed, the surgery so successful that Sheedy didn’t require any radiotherapy or chemotherapy.

Within just three months of his diagnosis, he was back at work as coach of Everton’s U18 team and, looking hale and hearty on a visit to Dublin this week, confirmed he “feels fantastic”.
