Former West Ham goalkeeper Ludek Miklosko has announced his decision to withdraw from further cancer treatment, three years after his diagnosis.

The Czech, 63, made almost 400 senior appearances across an eight-year playing career with the club and later returned as a goalkeeping coach.

Miklosko, who will be present at London Stadium for the visit of Premier League leaders Liverpool on Sunday, said in a statement on West Ham's website: "At the moment, I am feeling well.

"Lots of friends have said to me that, if they didn't know what I was going through, they would think that I was fine, which is nice for me to hear, because I want to feel like that for as long as possible.
