That's really sad to hear.  I hope he gets on the field in a higher place.

Scary. I am only a 3 years younger than him.

One of our guys had a heart attack and went into cardiac arrest during a game a few years ago. Luckily between the ambulance crew and the couple of docs on the sideline he was resuscitated and back to officiate the next year.

He was the same age as me and the same age my Dad died at!

I had a scare this Easter when I was put into a Acute Cardiac Care unit for 24 hours.  Despite the Doc in the ER saying they were likely to be fitting a pace maker the following day the consultant in the cardiac unit the following morning said nothing to worry about, go home.  Phew had me going for a little while!
