Ex-Liverpool defender admits hiding epileptic seizures from the club - 'I was embarrassed'

Ex-Liverpool star Stephen Warnock admits he was having seizures from a young age at Liverpool - but never made it known as he feared being released. The full-back came through the ranks at Anfield and played 67 times for his boyhood club. He later went on to play for the likes of Blackburn, Aston Villa and Leeds and now works as a pundit for the BBC. Epilepsy in a child is often identified when they have one or more seizures, according to charity Epilepsy Action. Medications can reduce or prevent epileptic seizures but they need careful management.
