EX-ENGLAND ace Kenny Sansom has revealed he is making a strong recovery after being beaten up and left fighting for his life last year.

Former England footie ace Kenny Sansom is recovering well after thugs left him fighting for life
It's 34 years today since we won the Littlewoods Cup. Being captain of @Arsenal is very very special. Liverpool were always difficult. When Ian Rush had scored they never lost, but Charlie Nick scored twice. We were all a bit nervous obviously. Great memories. It was fantastic. pic.twitter.com/QYUPkoyMSJ
Sansom spent months in hospital for treatment after the attack in May last year.
Taking to Twitter he said: “Hi everyone, I’m back. I’m feeling good.
“I’m walking okay, but I couldn’t play football.
“I know I’m improving, so that’s good news. I’m going for walks every day.
