Phil Hay

Surgery today for a brain tumour. Whilst benign clearly a serious op.
Will be out of action for a while.

On behalf of all on Ja606 who have relied on Phil at the Yorkshire Post, and now at The Athletic, being a ‘goto’ resource to clarify many a rumour, we wish him a speedy recovery.

On behalf of those who don’t see Phil in quite so positive a light, I know they also send best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Good luck Phil. I saw that he was taking time off but didn't realise it was for this. Hope all goes well.

Speaking of podcasts have you heard the That Peter Crouch Podcast with our very own Patrick Bamford as guest.
Obviously comes across really well but its also very funny and a few insights to things that go in the club. Well worth a listen.

Im someone that genuinely believed that he was part of the JCB family. Had no idea it was nonsense.

Best wishes to Phil. Hope he has a speedy recovery and is back at work soon. Leeds fans rely on his articles as we know he is someone who can be trusted.

Fantastic writer and broadcaster. The Phil Hay show is my essential weekly pick-me-up on all things LUFC. His writing for The Athletic is outstanding and his output since leaving the YP has been immense. He is a fine researcher and commentator and I wish him and his family a successful battle against this illness..

Get well soon Phil, he’s the guy I look to on Twitter for LUFC info. I hope his recovery is speedy and he comes back in good health.

@TheSquareBall
We’re breaking this weekend’s social media blackout for very good reason…

Phil Hay has been in touch to say his surgery went to plan and he’s now recovering in the LGI.
