About one in eight men in the UK will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime, with a particular risk for those aged 50 or over.

“I was having to get up a few times in the middle of the night to use the toilet and had a weak stream,” Knight added.

“So when I was getting a blood test for something unrelated, I spoke with the nurse about doing a PSA test.

“I probably would have put it off otherwise, but I’m glad that I didn’t.

“Ironically, it has spread to my hip, which I’ve had a few problems with down the years, but I have been told that it’s manageable.

“If I hadn’t needed to have a blood test, then I probably would have waited and by then, it might have been too late.”

Symptoms can include struggling to urinate or emptying your bladder, a weak flow and needing to urinate more than usual.

As a teenager, Knight kept a clean sheet on his debut against Rotherham in Division Three in 1978 and he went on to represent the club in all four divisions. He was awarded an MBE following his retirement.

Knight’s final appearance for the club came on 3 January 2000, in a 2-1 Division One defeat at Norwich, making him the only Blues player to have played across four decades.

He was reportedly found dead in a swimming pool after his wife, who lives in England, shared concerns regarding his whereabouts.

Thousands of football fans have since flocked to social media to pay tribute to the former Greek international.

Clubs and players have also publicly shared condolences.

Former Tottenham star Dele posted his own tribute on Instagram following the news of his friend’s tragic death.

Sharing a picture of himself and Baldock laughing together, he wrote: “I love you! Rest in peace my brother.”

The duo played together at MK Dons and formed a strong friendship.

Baldock spent eight years with the Dons after making his first team debut in 2010.

Some of his time was spent out on loan to Northampton Town, IBV, Tamworth and Oxford United.

He then joined Sheffield United in 2017 and became a fan-favourite, making 219 appearances.

The full-back signed for Greek side Panathinaikos this summer.

His last appearance came in a 0-0 draw with Olympiacos on Sunday.

The FA will pay tribute to Baldock before tonight’s international match between England and Greece at Wembley Stadium.

A period of silence will take place prior to kick-off and both teams will wear black armbands.

Team-mates have paid tribute to Baldock on social media.

Former Sheffield United player Samir Carruthers wrote on Instagram:, external “Brother, I don’t know what to say, I love you man. I miss you.

“You was my best mate for years and years and I was so lucky to live my football career with you and live with you. The world has lost an amazing human but I know you’re in heaven my friend. I will cherish every memory I made with you, you’ll always be in my heart.”

Oli McBurnie, who played with Baldock for five years at Sheffield United, said he felt sick at the news.

“I genuinely can’t believe you have gone brother, I feel sick,” he wrote on Instagram., external

“One of the best people I’ve ever met, you were loved by everyone you came across. My heart is broken for your beautiful little family. Sleep well GB, I love you mate.”

Way before they became professional footballers, England and Chelsea left-back Ben Chilwell got to know George Baldock as they grew up in Buckinghamshire.

Chilwell wrote on Instagram: “From hitting the bars together when we were younger in MK, to playing each other in the Premier League. I am heartbroken. Rest in peace mate.”

And former Sheffield United manager Paul Heckingbottom, now boss of Preston, also paid tribute.

“Numbing to hear of George Baldock’s passing, a man with so much still ahead of him in life as a husband, father, brother and son,” he wrote on X.

“George was super person and fantastic professional who was admired and adored by all who worked with him.

“My prayers are with his loved ones right now. George, it was a privilege to have known you.”

Jamahal Hill says his reaction to Alex Pereira’s finish of Khalil Rountree was taken out of context.

Hill (12-2 MMA, 6-2 UFC) was in attendance to watch light heavyweight champion Pereira brutally TKO Rountree in Round 4 of Saturday’s UFC 307 main event in Salt Lake City. Rountree won the first two rounds before getting finished.

After Pereira (12-2 MMA, 9-1 UFC) stopped Rountree (13-6 MMA, 9-6 UFC), the camera panned to Hill, who was seen yawning. Hill’s yawning reaction was understood by many as him thinking the fight was boring.

“It’s crazy how y’all see a clip with no context, no nothing, and y’all just be ready to talk sh*t and just attack and come disrespectful as ever,” Hill said on his YouTube channel. “It’s hilarious.

“I wasn’t mic’d up or anything like that, so I couldn’t explain the context of the yawn and things like that after the fight. I think I did hear a reporter told Alex, ‘Oh, Jamahal said the fight was boring.’ I never said the fight was boring.”

Hill was knocked out in the first round of his title fight against Pereira at UFC 300 in April. He predicted that Pereira would struggle against a southpaw like Rountree, and explains that his yawn was just him implying that he knew the fight would pan out like that.

“Now, to the yawn, the yawn at the end was – was it entertaining? Yes,” Hill said. “Was I impressed? No. I’m not impressed. You know, I’m ready to go. Did I see anything in the cage that scares me or that I didn’t expect to see? No.

“So as far as reacting and everything, I don’t think I really need to do much of a reaction to this fight because, before, if you watch, or you watch my breakdowns, you can see I told you exactly how this fight was going to go.”

JOE ROOT and Harry Brook set a new record for the highest Test Partnership in England history – but it all happened inside an almost empty stadium in Pakistan.

This comes after tickets were available for FREE inside the Multan Cricket Stadium.

England racked up 823-7 against Pakistan before stand-in captain Ollie Pope declared in the first Test in Multan.

Brook hit a triple century and Root made a double ton as records tumbled.

Together, they surpassed England’s previous record partnership of 409 runs – set by Colin May and Peter Cowdry against the West Indies in 1957.

When Root eventually fell for 262, it brought an end to a partnership of 454 – the fourth-highest in the history of Test cricket.

Meanwhile, Brook went beyond his teammate before eventually being dismissed for 317 from just 332 balls.

But all of these record-breaking successes occurred in front of, at best, almost 1,000 people inside a near EMPTY stadium.

Former England captain and co-commentator Mike Atherton voiced his disappointment over the extremely low turnout.

He said: “There are probably more security staff at the stadium than people in the crowd.”

Following the lacklustre turnout on Day 2, the PCB announced that fans would be allowed free entry to the stadium for Days 3 and 4.

The main issue which has contributed to bad crowds is that it was only confirmed 17 days before the first day of the opening Test.

But the poor attendance also comes at a time when Test cricket in Pakistan is facing difficulties.

A lack of crowds could highlight the diminishing interest in the longer format of the game.

Another reason why there are so few fans is because there aren’t many English spectators.

The Barmy Army often organise all of the trips abroad for England members, but they revealed ahead of the tour, there would only be about 20 going.

Many members are also simply saving for The Ashes next year.

Both Root and Brook recorded their highest Test scores, with the former overtaking Alastair Cook to become England’s all-time leading Test run scorer with 12,472.

Brook also became the first Englishman to score over 20,000 international runs across all three formats.

Alex Pereira did it again, as he knocked out a game Khalil Rountree in the main event of UFC 307 to retain the UFC light heavyweight title. “Poatan” now has options galore, so is sticking around at 205 the way to go, or should he move up to heavyweight to entice Jon Jones or Stipe Miocic to stick around?

On an all-new edition of Between the Links, the panel discusses the fallout of this past Saturday’s pay-per-view event, comparing Pereria’s run to any other we’ve seen in the UFC, Julianna Pena regaining the women’s bantamweight title, whether or not Raquel Pennington was robbed, and other storylines from the card. Additionally, topics include this Saturday’s UFC Vegas 98 event headlined by Brandon Royval vs. Tatsuro Taira, PFL’s pay-per-view price, Donn Davis continuing to frustrate the MMA community with his comments, and much more.

Host Mike Heck moderates the matchup between MMA Fighting’s Jed Meshew and UFC analyst Din Thomas.
