Rotherham United say their 'thoughts and unwavering support' are with club legend Ronnie Moore, after his diagnosis with a rare form of blood cancer.
The 72 year old played for the Millers for three years between 1980 and 1983, before returning to manage them across two stints from 1997 until 2005 and from 2009 until 2011.
In a statement on the club website, Rotherham United wrote: "We have been informed that Ronnie will now receive treatment in the coming months and he will await a stem cell transplant for a cancer that is treatable, but sadly incurable and will need to be managed by medical professionals.
"We are pleased to hear that Ronnie is currently feeling well and walking regularly.
"A true legend of the football club, Ronnie will continue to be welcome to attend matches at AESSEAL New York Stadium and will, of course, have the full backing of everyone at Rotherham United throughout the journey that lies ahead."
