Former Wales footballer Jason Bowen says family ‘heartbroken’ by Motor Neurone Disease diagnosis
Former Wales footballer Jason Bowen has shared how his family are “heartbroken” by his Motor Neurone Disease (MND) diagnosis.
The father-of-three, 50, became emotional as he told BBC Sport how his loved ones are “trying to stay positive.”
