That will have to be him retired now, he can't put his family, teammates, and supporters through that again

I know he is supposedly safer with whatever device he has implanted, but don't think he should continue

How do you insure him?

Two heart attacks, time to quit.

Reading the updates looks like he went into some type of arrhythmia then his ICD kicked in (hence the clutching of the chest).

Good that the ICD done its job. Probably would have went into cardiac arrest without it

No. Twice in a short space of time.

His exact condition may not even be known to doctors despite testing but maybe genetic.

I have a type of heart block* common in athletes with high vagal tone.

*its a funny term as its nothing to do with blockage. Just electrical timing.

For anyone who did Biology to A Level/beyond. This guy did much more than the famous fibres

Do Paninininini still do the sticker albums and the packs of stickers for each team.

It'd be like a small encyclopedia for this one.

The young lad has got a couple of packets but I'd say about 90% of the players he got I had never heard tell of.
