Former Liverpool defender Stephen Warnock has opened up about his secret battle with seizures during his youth. The 44-year-old, currently a football pundit for BBC Radio 5 Live, revealed he hid his condition from the club for fear of being released. Warnock, who made 67 appearances for Liverpool, said he suffered several seizures during his teenage years but was too scared to inform the club.
He told an interviewee that his first seizure occurred at school, leaving him unconscious before waking up in a hospital bed. Warnock also experienced another seizure at home, leading to CT and MRI scans to determine the cause. He eventually grew out of the condition at 14, with no medication or driving restrictions needed. His story sheds light on the fears young athletes face when dealing with medical conditions while pursuing a professional sports career.
