    Former Aston Villa and Celtic midfielder Stiliyan Petrov says he feels "like a little kid" now that he is playing football again following his battle with cancer.

    The 35-year-old Bulgarian was diagnosed with acute leukaemia in 2012 and retired in May 2013 , but is now playing Sunday League football for Midlands side Wychall Wanderers.

    Petrov's treatment is due to end shortly and he says it is "incredible being able to smile again".

    It's great news, John. There was an excellent piece on the BBC Football Focus (or the one after, Saturday Sportsday) showing him with his new team in the Sunday League; it was great to watch and hugely inspirational.
