just watching an actual tv broadcast of that Spurs vs Bolton game on YT.
It is insanely shocking how unimportant and trivial all this madness about football can become within a moment when something like this happens. Makes you realize what really counts. Really hope he will recover.
I think his Twitter account throws it all into perspective:
Just got engaged to this lucky lady:
Him and his son before the cinema:
There is much more to life than every little thing we all get worked up over. He obviously has two very important people in his life who will no doubt be absolutely terrified about what the future holds for them. Luckily for him (and for them), he is probably in a position to comfortably retire from the sport if his health no longer allows him to compete. Of course, it goes without saying, we wish him all the best in his recovery. Unfortunately he's not out of the woods yet regarding what happened. Everytime he is mentioned in the news or on the football, there is little good news coming out of the Chest Hospital.
He might play for your rivals, he might play for a team you don't particularly like but at the end of the day, he's a human just like everyone else and in that sense, we all play for the same team. Massive credit has to go out to the health professionals from both Bolton and Tottenham yesterday who helped to start the fight for him. Also credit to the fan who is a cardiologist who came onto the field to offer his expertise.
