While keeping Burnley in the Premier League is important to captain Ben Mee, it is not the most important fight he has faced in 2020.
Mee had to contend with every parent’s worst nightmare when baby Olive was born four months prematurely in May, weighing just 1lb 2ozs.
Adding to the difficulties, Covid restrictions meant there were periods when he was not allowed to visit wife Sarah or their new daughter in hospital as the little one fought for her life.
Mercifully, Olive returned to live at home in September where she met her two-year-old brother and she continues to improve, though remaining on oxygen to aid her progress.
