Famous Footballer with UC

[Liverpool FC]

As you can guess by my username I'm not a Man Utd fan but i found this out today - one of their footballers has been missing from the team for quite a while and initially it was reported that it was a stomach virus and it had caused him to lose weight etc.

Unfortunately it appears more serious than a one off issue. The media now says he has Ulcerative Colitis:

Just thought i'd share this.

Thanks for sharing! It's always a great inspiration to see pro athletes bounce back and playing at a high level after their diagnosis.

I'm a proud Liverpool supporter, but can't help but feel sorry for the guy. I look forward to his return to playing, even if it is for Man U.
