Former Liverpool and Bradford City footballer Stephen Darby, who was diagnosed with motor neurone disease in 2018, says he tells his family not to "waste time" and "enjoy what we have now".
The 35-year-old appears as a guest, alongside his wife – former England and Manchester City captain Steph Houghton - on series two of award-winning podcast "Rob Burrow Seven, Meets...".
The series is presented by former rugby league great, Rob Burrow, who himself was diagnosed with MND in late 2019. Episodes were recorded before Burrow died in June, aged 41, and are available now on BBC Sounds, on what would have been the former Leeds Rhinos player's 42nd birthday.
