Hartson 'critical but stable'

Jul 16 2009

Former Celtic star John Hartson remains in a critical but stable condition after undergoing emergency neurosurgery to relieve pressure on his brain, a hospital spokesman has said.

It was revealed earlier this week that the 34-year-old was diagnosed with testicular cancer, which had spread to his brain.

Doctors at the Morriston hospital in Hartson's home town of Swansea later discovered the disease in his lungs as well.
