Darren Fletcher thought he was invincible. Starring for Manchester United and Scotland, the midfield dynamo was an integral team member for club and country and was at the peak of his powers.

Suddenly, though, it was ripped away. Struck down for the best part of two years with ulcerative colitis, Fletcher realised no one is immune.Physically, of course, it was a battle.

But it wasn’t just the body that had to fight. It was the mind.Fletcher had to stay strong. He had to bravely maintain his belief and spirit through a period when some medical professionals opined he might never get the chance to come back and his career may be gone.It was a huge mental challenge and the importance of a support network really hit home.
