Porterfield in cancer setback
The Scotsman

FORMER Aberdeen and Chelsea manager Ian Porterfield has been forced to take time out as head coach of Armenia after being diagnosed with cancer. The 61-year-old Scot moved to Armenia last year, after a stint with South Korean club Busan I'Park. Since leaving the UK in 1993, he has also managed the national teams of Zambia, Saudi Arabia and Zimbabwe.

"I've not felt well for several weeks, and went to one of the local hospitals for a check-up," revealed Porterfield. "After carrying out a load of tests, they discovered that I've got cancer of the colon."

To be fair, he's a bit more than an "alumni"... he scored the winning goal in our 1973 FA Cup Final victory over dirty Leeds, and is such is nearly as much of a Sunderland legend as Bob Stokoe, the manager.

Ian Porterfield was an excellent coach, he had his problem like everyone else, but I believe he did great with us...

Get well soon coach.

i would never wish ill on anyone, and certainly not something like cancer of the colon, and i genuinely hope that Porterfield makes a full recovery. But when i first heard about it i couldn't help thinking that a little karma might have come his way. Yes he did great with us as a coach, but away from football the man was a drunk and some of us still remember the incident on Uriah Butler in which he killed a child. He was never brought to account for that because the whole thing was shamefully swept under the carpet. Like i said, i don't wish the man ill, i hope he recovers and everything, but the fact remains that somewhere in Trinidad there is a family who is still having to live with the consequences of Porterfield's actions on that fateful day...

Yuh wrong to even say this. Everyone pay for their deeds, but doh throw this back in de man face. He needs de support and understanding. Porterfield alone was not involved in that incident, what about Jack Warner and them who pay off de people. Or when Yorke hit 2 girls with his car in Tobago 2 years back and pay them off too. A lot of people does take a drink and drive and makes mistakes, so doh go there, it could happen to you and I am sure you would have wanted help too. Porterfield in a critical state no need to remind anyone how bad or what mistakes de man did... by you saying this you just as bad and could pay as well for your mouth. De people who cover up Porterfield incident just as guilty. What about de people who got paid off, them eh ever say nothing, just take de money and gone, I eh saying he should be forgiven, but I cannot wish for a man to pay back in such state...

I pray for his recovery.
