Former Liverpool star Rigobert Song has been pictured for the first time since suffering a stroke nine weeks ago.
The Cameroon legend, wearing a Southport under-21 shirt, can be seen looking frail but smiling as he sits alongside a friend on a hospital bed.
The 40-year-old fell into a coma for two days back in October after having a cerebral aneurysm at his home in the Odza neighbourhood in Yaounde, Cameroon.
Song was flown to France for further treatment after waking and is said to be 'recovering steadily.
