Aberdeen captain Graeme Shinnie has opened up about his battle with Crohn's disease and how the chronic illness almost ended his career.
'Looking back at everything that I've achieved in my career, I massively appreciate it all because at one stage at that young age, I thought it was all gone.' Graeme Shinnie broke down after a Scottish Cup tie when he was 18 years old and had to endure 11 hours of surgery as Crohn's disease took hold.
'Terry Butcher was my manager who was a massive influence on not only my football career in terms of giving me my opportunity but being around me at that time, visiting me every week. 'After coming out of hospital and trying to build my fitness back up, and my physique and everything else, he was there with me all the way telling me 'there's a place for you when you come back'. 'Having that alongside me was massive to keep going and the drive to get back to peak fitness.
