Manchester United star striker Andy Cole on overcoming racism in football and his journey from top scorer to transplant survivor.
Andy Cole is one of England鈥檚 most successful footballers, notably part of the legendary Manchester United squad that won a historic treble in 1999. His path to the top wasn鈥檛 easy 鈥� as a young player he had to deal with racism in football, and then grapple with the expectations of stardom. But Andy鈥檚 biggest challenge was off the pitch when he faced a deadly health scare. This interview contains offensive language.
