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.

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: '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.

Soccer superstar Kevin DeBruyne puts on a loved-up display as he and wife Michele Lacroix attend a friend’s wedding in Seal Beach, Calif., on the afternoon of Saturday June 25, 2022. The Manchester City and Belgium midfielder, who turns 31 on June 28, won the English Premier League this season and was nominated for Player of the Year, scoring 15 goals and registering eight assists in the 30 matches he played. He and social media influencer Michele, who married in 2014 and have three young kids together, were in great spirits whilst mingling with fellow guests and holding hands outside the venue as well as posing for pictures. Kevin wore a stylish black suit and white shirt and Michele wowed in a tiny green dress. The hit it off after Michele, who is also Belgian, liked a Tweet of Kevin’s when he was on loan at German side Werder Bremen back in the 2012-13 season. That same time period Kevin was embroiled in a messy split from his previous girlfriend, Caroline Lijnen, who admitted she had an affair with his Belgian teammate Thibaut Courtois after claiming she was cheating on herself.
