Well he has Crohn's so, yes, he was quite ill.
I can't imagine him being a 25 game a season player anymore though.

It prevented him from playing or training between March and September 2011 and again from early December 2011 to date, seems fairly serious to me.JoeMercer'sWay said:Fletcher returns tomorrow, can't have been that ill then.

He's been diagnosed with ulcerative colitis and there's a chance it may end his career tho experts say there's a 2 in 3 chance of full remission following treatment.
Apparently there was a chance he wouldn't play again, still is a chance it'll end his career as according to google, periods of remission can be followed by relapse (tho as stated above experts also estimate a 2 in 3 chance of full remission). Guess we're also not going to see what, if any, affect his illness has had on his football until he starts playing again.JoeMercer'sWay said:JM Mcr said:It prevented him from playing or training between March and September 2011 and again from early December 2011 to date, seems fairly serious to me.JoeMercer'sWay said:Fletcher returns tomorrow, can't have been that ill then.

people were talking about him not playing this season, or ever again, yet he's back in the middle of september.

Finally, it's worth bearing in mind that the guy will have been in a lot of pain over the last couple of years.
All told, a career threatening illness that he's been fighting, off and on, for at least 2 years - I'd be interested to kow what your definition of "that ill" is?
