MIKE TULLBERG fought back from a knee injury with the help of boxer Mikkel Kessler's trainer.
The striker was crocked at a Danish football school and feared he would have to quit the game.
But thanks to Thomas Macon, who trains Kessler, he recovered and went on to make a name for himself in his homeland.
Mike said: "Thomas was my physical coach. He was a friend of my family. He helped me overcome the injury."
