Everyone at Dover Athletic sends their support and best wishes to David Leworthy and his family as our former striker and club legend battles illness.

Leworthy scored 86 goals in just 152 starts for Dover during his four years with the club and was voted our best ever player on the club forum in 2011.

The 58-year-old’s son Craig posted on social media on Wednesday, explaining the situation, saying his father has recently been diagnosed with bladder cancer and will have a growth removed on Monday.

The club would like to reiterate our heartfelt best wishes to David and his family.
