Hasn't just been African players sadly. Remember it happening to three Europeans in recent years on the pitch. The poor fella from Seville recovered on the pitch and collapsed again in the dressing room.
What is interesting though is that I think they have all been mid to late 20's so that means they would have all been playing football for quite sometime.
Awful though, thoughts to his family and team mates.

Just seen the youtube. He looks fine, stumbles back a step and flakes out. Never knew what hit him, poor bastard.

Well it's quite hard to age them it seems so there either old and blagging or there's something in their genetic make up that "ages" them.
This might do the insides as much as the outsides I suppose.

Is it me or does this seem to be something which has a habit of happening to African players?
I saw the earlier theory about poor nutrition in early years but not sure about that tbh

Had the self same thing happen to me earlier this year wife saved my life by giving me CPR as soon as I collapsed and kept going until paramedics arrived got icd fitted so it won't happen again hopefully.
Got jump started by paramedics and officially died but they brought me round .

Shows how lucky Fabrice Muamba and James Taylor the cricketer have been.
You wonder how extensive the testing of players is to reveal these sort of conditions.

Is it a coincidence?
There's a link between adult heart disease, and poor nutrition in early life and/or poor maternal nutrition, I believe.
How good was Cameroonian food security 20-30 years ago?

Just seen a clip of him collapsing as it was a televised game.
Awful thing for everyone to witness.

Tragic, brings back the memories of Marc-Vivien Foe, he was from Cameroon and had a heart problem as well.
Sad coincidence.
RIP
