It's great that he's recovered, although sadly for him he'll probably never play professional football again: the Head Cardiologist for the FA said that protocols in England would prevent him playing here. But he's alive and that's all that really matters, and I'm sure he'll realise that.
It brings a couple of other things to mind. A former boss was married to a chap who'd been a biochemist whose PhD had been researching these sudden cardiac arrests in relatively young people. It seems that for some reason there are people whose hearts are - for want of a better word - programmed to only beat x number of times, and this accounts for most cardiac deaths in the under-35s. The trick is to find out why and what (if anything) can be done about it.
The other thing it brings to mind is my own father's death almost half a century ago, dropped dead from a heart attack one morning in early June 1972 at Clapham South underground station. Limited CPR knowledge in those days, no defibrillators outside of hospitals. There was, I gather, a nurse to hand from the nearby Women's Hospital, but to no avail.
If it happened today, things might be so different. |

I'm surprised he's got the resources to launch his own TV channel. |

Presumably we'll be getting a payout because of his competitive England match? |

Seeing football stuff on here is far more annoying.
(Well, it isn't really, but I dislike the tone of those who denounce stuff wrongly placed on the football side) |
