Ex-Aston Villa and Celtic player Stiliyan Petrov wins Sunday league title

Stiliyan Petrov describes the feeling as 'priceless' after his Sunday league team win the title.

Former Aston Villa and Celtic player Stiliyan Petrov has described the 'priceless' feeling of winning a Sunday league trophy after being cleared of leukaemia.

The 35-year-old scored for Wychall Wanderers to help them win the Central Warwickshire Over-35s Premier Division One Cup.

Petrov, who was forced to retire in 2013, told the Daily Mirror that his latest bone marrow test showed the all clear.

The Bulgarian said: "I am still beside my family and I have managed to play nearly 90 minutes and win a cup, it is great.

"It will go next to my Uefa Cup medal. But it is more valuable than everything else - it is priceless."

During his seven years with Celtic, Petrov won the Scottish Premier League four times as well as six domestic cups.
