Fabrice
Muamba, for those who don't remember or know him, is the Bolton
Wanderers midfielder who collapsed during a match ion the 17th of March
this year, and his heart then stopped beating for 78 minutes. He spent
four weeks in the hospital and doctors said his recovery was a miracle.
Five months after the incident, he has been advised to quit football for
good. Find the statement he released yesterday after the cut...
Since suffering my heart attack and being
discharged from hospital, I have remained utterly positive in the belief
I could one day resume my playing career and play for Bolton Wanderers
once again.
As part of my on-going
recovery, last week I travelled to Belgium to seek further medical
advice from a leading cardiologist. But the news I received was
obviously not what I had hoped it would be and it means I am now
announcing my retirement from professional football. While the news is
devastating, I have much to be thankful for. I thank God that I am alive
and I pay tribute once again to the members of the medical team who
never gave up on me.
I would also
like to thank everyone who has supported me throughout my career and
the Bolton fans who have been incredible. I am blessed to have the
support of my family and friends at this time."
I love the game and count myself very lucky to have been able to play at the highest level.
