Scots teen footballer left ‘dizzy’ from head knock during game diagnosed with brain tumour
A Scots teen footballer discovered he had a brain tumour after being left ‘dizzy’ from a head knock during a game. Kyle McPherson, from Edinburgh, was hit by the ball during a match in May 2021 and initially felt fine despite the head blow.
“But it came to the penalty shoot-out and I started to feel dizzy. The goal in front became distant and I couldn't stand up straight.
