The top-flight ref battling cancer

Louisa Compton | 15:23 UK time, Monday, 9 November 2009

Mark Halsey

Today Victoria spoke to Premier League referee Mark Halsey and his wife Michelle. Mark's having chemotherapy after being diagnosed with throat cancer just a few months ago, and Michelle has leukaemia - but despite their illness both are determined to stay upbeat, and Mark can't wait to get back to work.

You can listen to their interview here, on today's programme page.
