Former Ghana, Nottingham Forest and Bristol Rovers striker Junior Agogo has spoken for the first time about the devastating effect of the stroke he suffered two years ago, revealing it has left him lacking confidence and socially isolated.

The 38-year-old suffered the stroke in January 2015 soon after retiring from football, this subsequently led to Aphasia, which severely affects a person’s ability to use language.

The former Black Stars striker who is now cared for by his mother appeared in the BBC Four documentary on Sunday to raise awareness of Aphasia on World Stroke Day.
