The defender won 86 England caps and the League Cup in his career.

He spent months in hospital after he was attacked in 2020 and was diagnosed with a degenerative brain disorder.

Kenny, who has been sober for nearly two years, posted a wedding picture with daughter Natalie on social media.

He wrote: “I just wanted to say how proud I was to walk my daughter Natalie down the aisle.

“I was so happy and emotional.”

Last year Natalie posted: “So proud of my dad, he’s doing so well.”

Fans of the star praised him for the progress he has made.
