Swindon defender Kevin Amankwaah has issued an apology to Millwall's Neil Harris over his alleged cancer jibe during Saturday's 1-1 draw. Amankwaah initially denied having taunted the Lions striker over his battle against testicular cancer, but is now making a donation to the Everyman Cancer Charity, of which Harris is a patron.

A statement from Swindon read: "Kevin Amankwaah acknowledges that he may have reacted inappropriately to a verbal exchange between the two players and made what could be construed as an insensitive comment relating to the illness that Harris successfully fought.

"Kevin stated that his comments, which were very out of character, were made in what was a highly-competitive match, where passions were running high."

Amankwaah said: "While I feel I was the subject of some abusive comments, I regret any offence my comment may have caused and extend an apology to Neil, a player and a man for whom I have a high regard."

Harris, 32, underwent successful surgery after being diagnosed with testicular cancer in 2001.
