http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...ays-suffering-bowel-disease-Charles-Sale.html Ray Wilkins, sacked as assistant manager by Fulham this week, has revealed he is suffering from the same debilitating illness as Manchester United midfielder Darren Fletcher. Former Manchester United and Chelsea star Wilkins, 57, has been fighting the chronic bowel disease ulcerative colitis since 1990 along with periodic bouts of depression. Wilkins has decided to reveal his medical condition in order to save his career in football management and rebut drinking allegations. I imagine he may have been drinking but that is a ****ing awful disease, lot of people do get depressed with it and when your depressed you do tend to turn to booze. Shame, always liked "Butch" used to be good commentating on football Italia.
