Tribute to Fabrice Muamba - Wishing him a full recovery.

[Alpha]

Bolton midfielder Fabrice Mwamba collapsed yesterday on the pitch when his team were playing Spurs in quater final of FA Cup . He suffered a cardiac arrest . He was rushed to the Hospital and is said to be in critical conditions . Fabrice is one of our former boys . He was nicknamed '' the next patrick Vierra'' for his ability to tackle and break down opposite team play and counter-attack . He played with the likes of Wilshere , Song , Bendtner ,Djourou , Larson ,Senderos ..etc.. in the reserves team . He was a regular player in the under 21 England team . He is a decent player and could have made it at arsenal Had arsene not decided to make his loan spell at Birmingham permanent . He is really a good lad .A genteman . As Arsenal fans we should be the first concerned as he started his career with us . Spurs fans forgot their rivalry with Arsenal ( normally any former Arsenal player get booed at white hart lane even if he has left Arsenal ) and conduct themselves in a decent way . All players , fans , and pundits were shocked to witness such a horrible experience . We are after all humans . Get well soon Fabrice .

Nice one mate, but please change the thread title for obvious reasons.

Woke up to read it and thought he had passed.

Thanks . but we still don't know if he will make it . Th signs are not good yet but hopefully he survives that critically condition .Every one is devastated for such a young and nice lad . Even though he doesn't play for us anymore he is still a devoted Arsenal fan ( someone close to him told me Yesterday )

Yeah, thought the same.

Hope the kid pulls through okay.

Saw the news on BBC and was shocked.
Reallt hope he pulls through. Thoughts going out to him and his family.



Not meaning to sound picky but reallt did think he had lost the battle when I saw the title of this thread. . , imagine others might too

Really hope he pulls through and that he makes the fullest recovery possible. It is never nice to hear of someone so young in this danger - it isn't right.

Also, kudos to both sets of supporters last night - they were pure class.

I saw a v similar case last year. Older guy but it took them so long to get his heart working again he became essentially a vegetable. Watching his wife come in day after day washing and cleaning him holding onto the false hope that he'd come back normal is tragic. Sometimes I think it's better if they died then and there as horrible as it sounds.

Difficult to put thoughts into words. . . .never goes through your head that something like this could happen , although its rare it just show how fragile/precious life is. . . .so many ifs. . .if he hadnt been picked, the game had been played on a different day etc
Is there anything that could be done. . .rountine checks before games?

Its absolutely tragic
