FORMER England captain Bryan Robson says he is winning his battle with throat cancer.
The ex-Middlesbrough boss has had treatment to remove a tumour but said he would make a full recovery.
The 54-year-old, from Chester-le-Street, County Durham, who is now manager of Thailand's national team, said: "I'm feeling fine in myself.
"The operation earlier this month was successful and I'd like to thank all the fans for their well wishes.
"I have go to on a five-week course of radiotherapy treatment but that's good news because it's not chemotherapy.
"All the specialists have been positive and said that I should make a 100 per cent recovery.
"That is all I wanted to hear. I will get on with the treatment and try to be as positive as I can be."
Robson earned 90 England caps and won three FA Cups, two league titles and the Cup Winners' Cup with Manchester United.
