Linfield footballer Ross Larkin says he feels fortunate to be alive following a life-threatening brain tumour.The Northern Ireland under-21 defender hopes to make a full recovery but it is unclear whether he will be able to play top-flight football again.

Details of his illness were not made public when the brain tumour was discovered, just before Christmas in 2021. To protect his privacy, Linfield simply put out a statement saying the centre-half was in hospital for a "procedure".In his first interview about his illness, Larkin told BBC News NI: "Thank God I had that surgery and it was successful."I just couldn't believe it. My family couldn't believe it. It was hard to take."By the age of 22, he had a university degree and a full-time football contract at the biggest club in Belfast.
