Robson 'Overwhelmed' By Support

Former England captain Bryan Robson admits he has been 'overwhelmed' by the level of support he has received after being diagnosed with throat cancer.

Robson underwent surgery for throat cancer earlier this month and is feeling positive about his recovery.

The 54-year-old is now due to embark on a three-city charity tour in Asia and the Manchester United legend is looking forward to the future.

"The prognosis is good, so I count myself extremely lucky and am even more committed to raising funds to help improve the lives of vulnerable youngsters," said Robson.

"I have been overwhelmed by the support of United fans and well-wishers, and I hope everyone in Asia joins me in supporting these events."

The tour will raise money for United's charitable foundation and UNICEF, and the dinners will be held in Bangkok on 6th April, Kuala Lumpur on 8th April and Hong Kong on 9th April.
