Former Aussie rugby legend will be among the 36,000 hitting the streets for the London marathon today, and he is grateful to be there.
By Declan Whooley
The World-Cup winning out-half is a familiar face of rugby for Sky Sports, but this time last year he was admitted to hospital in Brisbane complaining of headaches.
It transpired that Lynagh had suffered a stroke and spent six days in intensive care, with many fearing that he may not pull through.
Thankfully he has, displaying all the determination that made him one of the greatest out-halves to ever grace the game, and today will be running the marathon mindful of where he was just 12 short months ago.
An inspirational story, of which there will be many given the numbers involved, and we wish Michael all the best today.
