Barry Roan, a 47-year-old Army veteran who was given months to live after being diagnosed with a rare liver disease, is set to play football for the Scotland Transplant Active Football team at the European Transplant Football Championship in Oxford this April. Roan, who underwent a successful liver transplant two years ago, joined the team to improve his fitness and reignite his passion for football. He encourages others who have undergone transplants to get involved. Born in Dumfries, Roan served in the Army for 24 years and now works in health and safety.
