Sheffield Wednesday send message of support to ex-player Petter Rudi after ALS diagnosis

Sheffield Wednesday EPL

Former Sheffield Wednesday and Norway midfielder Petter Rudi has been diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as motor neurone disease (MND).
Rudi, 52, made 76 Premier League appearances for Sheffield Wednesday between 1997 and 2000 and earned 46 international caps for Norway.
Sheffield Wednesday and Rudi's current club, Molde, have both expressed their support for him and his family following the diagnosis.
ALS is a progressive neurodegenerative disease, with the MND Association stating that 5,000 adults are affected by MND at any one time in the UK.
Rudi joins other high-profile athletes diagnosed with the condition, including rugby league legend Rob Burrow, who passed away in 2024, and England rugby union World Cup winner Lewis Moody.
