Sadly it happens at all levels of sport, according to stories I've heard/read since Muambas incident.
This time it was in the public eye as it was in a televised FA cup match and the player involved plays for a premier league team and is an england under 21 international.
Would the sad story of Venkatesh been heard in these shores if not for Muamba? My guess is probably not.
My thoughts go to the lad's family and friends.
R.I.P. Venkatesh.
It's sad when anyone dies like this 34 years old is to young
Amazing to hear of another player with heart problems
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Why? It happens all the time. Happened to a 16 year old in a rugby match yesterday.
Sorry BWH I meant it amazes me through my naiivety - its easy to assume that healthy, fit people would be at little risk of something more associated with the exact opposite. Was the lad/ladess OK?
Sadly, the 15 year old boy died. He collapsed during a rugby match at college. Daniel Yorath - Gabby Logan's brother - collapsed playing football in the garden and died, also aged 15. He died from a heart condition known as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
Muamba was fortunate to receive such fantastic care so quickly. Coyle said that Muamba has recognised him and said Gaffer. He's still got a very long way to go.
Saturday will be a difficult day for many of us. Both teams must play to win.
k'in hell, 15 years old, half my age... wow..
