The Malones family worry
Shaun suffered a stroke and was diagnosed with a brain disease aged just 15. He had brain surgery, then spent six months in hospital.
Speaking recently on the Coaching From The Sofa podcast, Shaun said doctors warned his mum and dad, Julie and Tom, that he had a slim chance of pulling through.
And the terrifying ordeal, which happened in 2010, caused brain damage that left him experiencing issues with memory and movement.

He said on the podcast: “In 2010, I got sinusitis and, in some way, the infection found its way back to my brain. My brain started swelling and my skull started crushing it.
“My mum took me to A&E, saying, ‘Look, he’s poorly!’ They said it was sinusitis. Some time after he returned home, he “collapsed” and “ended up going into a coma”.
