A FORMER City star has spoken out after a 'routine medical' revealed a scary diagnosis.
Michael Brown, the former footballer, manager and now popular pundit, has opened up about his shock cancer diagnosis which came at the start of the first coronavirus lockdown in early 2020.
He began his career with City after coming up through their youth ranks and was named the club's Player of the Year in 1998 - appearing more than 100 times between 1994 and 2000.
Midfielder Michael, 46, had a lengthy career, going on to play for Sheffield United, Tottenham Hotspur and Leeds United. But he faced a new challenge when, during a routine medical, he was told he had cancer. Now he's taking on the London Marathon in honour of those who treated him.
He said: "Lockdown was a tough time for everyone, but unfortunately I was faced with a tougher challenge. Following many years in football, the League Managers Association offer me a yearly medical.
"Thanks to this I discovered I had a malignant melanoma." The melanoma was found in a problematic mole in the middle of Michael's back.
