Dominic Matteo: 'Basically, I played my whole football career with a brain tumour'
Former Liverpool and Leeds player Dominic Matteo on losing his memory, hitting ‘rock bottom' with a gambling addiction and his road to recovery.
Matteo, 49, is sitting with Jess reflecting on his recovery from November 2019 surgery on a cancerous brain tumour. The day their lives changed forever began relatively calmly. Matteo had experienced a headache here, a bout of sickness there, but it was all easily attributable to other sources.
His GP had referred him for an MRI scan.
Matteo the footballer had had many scans. "Usually, they take a while, but I was in for what felt like a minute," he says. "They must have seen something straight away." He was not allowed to leave hospital that Monday night. By Wednesday, he was in a wheelchair, his vision blurred and his face distorted.
Dominic Matteo photopraphed at his home near Halifax in West Yorkshire. Dominic Matteo is a Scotish former professional footballer who played as a defender and midfielder in a 17-year professional career from 1992 to 2009. Matteo played for Liverpool, Sunderland, Leeds United, Blackburn Rovers and Stoke City. In November 2019, Matteo underwent surgery on a brain tumour, and was declared fully recovered in April the following year.
