Warrington star Luis Johnson admits he’s in complete awe of his dad’s amazing coronavirus recovery. The 21-year-old forward has spent the past seven weeks dreading every phone call in case it was bad news.
Dad Errol - a former Leeds and Bradford Northern player - was so ill he was put into a coma for three weeks. At one point he was given only a 20 per cent chance of surviving and, in total, spent almost two months on a ventilator in Leeds’ St James’s Hospital.
But on Sunday, 51-year-old Errol was given a standing ovation by nurses, doctors and hospital staff as he was wheeled out of intensive care and on to a normal ward.
