'We are all right behind him' - McKenna on Burley

Ipswich Town manager Kieran McKenna says "we are all right behind" George Burley, who is undergoing cancer treatment.

Burley, 68, played for Ipswich from 1973 to 1985 and completed 500 appearances for the club. He was manager at Ipswich from 1994 to 2002.

"It has been a difficult time, but I am feeling much brighter now," said Burley. "In fact, I am able to get to matches at Portman Road and I am enjoying watching the team playing back in the Premier League."

McKenna added: "This club has had some brilliant managers and George is right up there as one of the very best.

"It has been a pleasure to get to know George since I arrived at Ipswich. He is a positive and optimistic character, and I know he will also take that attitude into the battle he now faces.

"We are all right behind him."
