Millwall striker Neil Harris has lent his support to West Ham
keeper Craig Forrest in his battle against testicular cancer.
Harris received a similar diagnosis in June, and is now well on the way to a full recovery, having appeared as a substitute in two first team games already this season - in spite of fears that he could miss the whole campaign.
Neil spoke to Craig on Wednesday and explained:
"I've just tried to pass on some of the knowledge I've picked up over the past few months to try and help Craig come to terms with his situation.
"I received similar support from Jason Cundy and Craig Short which was a real help to me.
"I can fully appreciate what he and his family are going through at the moment and along with everyone at Millwall I wish him all the best for a speedy recovery.
"Hopefully the fact that I've been able to recover and am back training and playing again will be an encouragement to Craig."
