Former Manchester United star Patrice Evra has revealed his dependency on painkillers during his playing career used to see him take up to 38 pills per day.

The ex-France international shared the challenging reality of the life of a top-flight footballer as he announced that he would be coming on board as an investor in an all-natural anti-inflammatory pain management company KURK.

Evra is keen to extol the virtues of the liquid curcumin - the active component in the spice turmeric - against the backdrop of his own journey with pain management on the pitch.
