TalkSPORT legend Alan Brazil has returned to the airwaves after undergoing life-saving surgery for a liver transplant. The 66-year-old has been off-air for three months but is gradually improving and is expected to return to his regular Breakfast Show slot in a few weeks.
TalkSPORT legend Alan Brazil has revealed his life-saving surgery was a liver transplant . The 66-year-old has been off-air from presenting his regular Breakfast Show slot for three months, but returned for a short while on Thursday morning to give his listeners an update on his health.
Brazil initially announced his surgery, posting a video on Instagram, but did not get bogged down in the details. However, he was more open with his pals Gabby Agbonlohor and Ally McCoist on Thursday's breakfast show. Brazil appeared from home, with his face slimmed from the surgery. The former Manchester United forward disclosed that he was on the operating table for several hours and admitted that his heart stopped at one point.
Alan Brazil spoke about how his heart stopped on the operating table during surgery Brazil is pictured with the late Eddie Jordan at a previous Cheltenham Festival.
'I'm still here! Gradually every day improving,' Brazil said.
'I'm looking forward to getting back. It's going to be a few more weeks, hopefully two or three and then I'm getting back. There's going to be loads of sport on, which is really getting me going.
'It's been a funny few months, it really has, but there's a lot of rubbish going on at the moment, there's heartbreak and Kenny, Kevin Keegan, John Barnes, every day you read something different. It's our age I'm afraid. I cocked it and thank God, luckily, the guys at Addenbrooke's Hospital saved my life.
'I'm on the mend I'm still not there, getting there guys. Gabby is still talking tosh so I can still do this. Gabby, lovely to see you mate, and Ally, I'm excited to get back to you with Celtic, Rangers, and Hearts.
'So much sport has been going on and it's really kept me going to be honest. It's been magic and there's still loads to come with the World Cup, so bingo! I'm alive and kicking, and I'm looking forward to it. Although managing to get in front of the camera, Brazil conceded that he is still struggling - particularly with sleepless nights.
But he was in good spirits and eager to return to his talkSPORT gig as soon as possible. His update comes two months after he was forced to miss presenting for talkSPORT during the final two days at Cheltenham Festival
