JACK Walker is recovering at his Jersey home after a spell in hospital, it was announced today.
The 70-year-old multi-millionaire owner of Blackburn Rovers was treated at an unnamed location.
Manager Graeme Souness today said: "On behalf of the club, and in response to recent speculation, I can confirm that Mr Walker has been ill.
"But I can also report that he is feeling better."
A club spokesman added: "We are now anxious that Mr Walker's privacy is respected and that he is allowed to continue his recovery at home."
