Manchester United legend Andy Cole has described the shock and fear he felt after being diagnosed with kidney failure in 2015.
Cole became ill after contracting Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis during an ambassadorial visit to Vietnam and was quickly rushed to hospital upon his return.
The former striker told how his kidneys 'packed up' on him and how his prior fitness levels stopped his body from shutting down.
'When I felt ill, I was like, "What's going on here?". I couldn't understand what I was going through regarding my illness, it came totally out of the blue,' Cole told the Official Manchester United podcast.
