Watch: Stewart loses function in arms due to MND

Former Ipswich Town player Marcus Stewart has revealed he has now lost the use of his arms due to motor neurone disease.

Stewart, who also played for Sunderland and Bristol Rovers, was diagnosed with MND in September 2022.

Since then, the 53-year-old has been raising awareness and campaigning to help find a cure alongside former Liverpool and Bradford City player Stephen Darby, who also has MND.

With the help of his wife Louise, Stewart said he was finding "ways around" not being able to use his arms.
