A Scots footballer was delighted to see the back of 2022 after two catastrophic illnesses affected his mobility and could mean he never plays the sport again. Ex-Kilmarnock midfielder Will Graham, 23, was playing for Hurlford United in a friendly match in July when he collapsed with a burst brain aneurysm.
Medics didn’t think he would survive and Will had accepted he was going to die as he felt everything drain out of his body as the bleed intensified. But he defied the odds and a few months ago told the Daily Record he was battling back to fitness and just six weeks after his aneurysm he had begun to jog again - even though he still had no feeling down his left hand side.
However, just days after speaking about his progress Will had a massive seizure in his father’s car as they drove from Oban, where the family now live, to Kilmarnock.
