COLE: KIDNEY BATTLE IS WITH ME EVERY DAY

ANDY COLE says his kidney problems are the most difficult challenge he has ever faced.

- BY BEN CRAWFORD

The 54-year-old scored 121 goals in 275 appearances for Manchester United and his partnership with Dwight Yorke (below) was key to their 1999 Treble.

He retired in 2008 but Cole fell ill in 2015 and needed a kidney transplant two years later. His nephew donated the organ and Cole has now spoken about the everyday battle he still faces.

"It was a really mentally testing time," said Cole, speaking on In The Mixer brought to you by Sky Bet.
