'She's been through hell': The family hardship driving Sydney FC star

One of the first features you notice about Luke Brattan are his piercing blue eyes. They beam like headlights, lighting up when he laughs and match the bright shade of his sky blue Sydney FC jersey. However, it isn't long before they reveal the pain that lies beneath.

The midfielder might appear to be in near-career best form with the high-flying league leaders but Brattan says there have been plenty of moments he hasn't been switched on during games. Instead, his mind has drifted to thoughts about Holli-Mia who, at the age of 22, is undergoing chemotherapy and is preparing for a bone-marrow transplant."It has been hard. There have been times in games where I feel I am not in the game which is not great," he said.

Sydney FC midfielder Luke Brattan has been travelling back to Brisbane throughout the season to be with his sister."She has been through hell everyday. Now she had chemo, she takes her backpack and takes the chemo home," he said. "It’s full on and now it’s just part of everyday life [from] now until its finished. She is incredible, she is definitely my hero. She has done an incredible job so far.
