Title: Player collapses on pitch during Tottenham V's Bolton FA Cup Tie.
Post by: QD MBE on March 17, 2012, 08:04:09 pm: As Above.

Fabrice Muamba collapsed and is now in hospital. Medics spent 10 mins trying to revive him, including defibrillation, apparently he was not breathing when he left the pitch.

No-one else was involved. Play was well away from him.

Game abandoned.

Post by: Tfsi_Mike on March 17, 2012, 08:07:46 pm: Scary. I don't follow footy at all but he's obviously a fit bloke.

An extremely rare condition attacked my brother out of the blue last summer and he's still battling with it. You just never know what is going to happen

Hope the guy makes a full recovery

Post by: rdfcpete on March 17, 2012, 08:29:36 pm: Confirmed as in a stable condition, according to a hospital spokesman (source: Sky news).

Thank goodness. I hope he makes a full recovery and can play again soon, he's a good player.
I'm sure some will remember Marc Vivien-Foe who tragically passed away in a very similar incident :sad1:

Post by: Janner_Sy on March 17, 2012, 08:45:24 pm: The same thing happened to a guy i was in germany with a few years back. huge level of fitness, yet just dropped dead playing basketball one weekend. Scary stuff :sad1:

Hopefully Muamba recovers fully

Post by: JPC on March 17, 2012, 08:57:43 pm: Really hope he makes a full recovery. Awful news to hear. Just gotta hope those 10 mins without breathing weren't too damaging and you'd hope with his age and fitness he'd be in the most resilient position.

Post by: swgti on March 18, 2012, 07:19:46 am: Shocking news and really hope he's ok, wonderful to see rivalries aside the world of football coming together in support for the lad. Just shows no matter how fit you are you just don't know what's round the corner.

Post by: rdfcpete on March 19, 2012, 10:45:39 pm: Close to a miracle that he's showing signs of some sort of recovery.

It will be an absolute miracle if the guy ever plays any kind of professional football again. What a moment that would be... :smiley:

Keep going Fabrice :happy2:

Aye dont they say anything longer than 4 minutes, unless its very cold (Arctic) and its been known upto 8 mins with almost full recovery, shame for him and his family, wish them all the best on the RTR.
