Former Premier League footballer Stephen Darby has revealed the reality of living with a Motor Neurone Disease diagnosis, sharing photos of painful head injuries he's endured after falling.
Posting on the Instagram page of his Darby Rimmer MND Foundation account, which raises money for research into the disease, Darby posted three photos of himself with painful-looking cuts to his head.
The ex Liverpool and Bradford City striker was first diagnosed on September 12th 2018 at the age of 29 - just three months after his wedding to former England Lioness captain Steph Houghton.
In a post headed 'A reality of MND', he explained to the account's followers how the disease means he's now prone to falls and can no longer break them - and he's had two trips to A&E this year.
