Fabrice Muamba retires from professional football


Recommended Posts

Spurs attacking midfielder Rafael van der Vaart, who was standing around 10 metres away from Muamba when he collapsed, said the events during Saturday's abandoned FA Cup quarter-final tie were "incomprehensible".

 

"[it was] simply horrifying to see such a young player on the ground struggling for his life," the Dutchman told his official website.

 

"I didn't see him fall. But, when I turned, I immediately knew things weren't good.

 

"At that time all players on the field felt the panic as well. It was horrible to witness, it's the absolute low in my football career."

 

:(

 

:( You could tell how much it was affecting him too. Just kept looking to the sky with his hands in a 'pray' sign.

Just imagine if he manages to regain most of his faculties, how he'd feel when seeing back all the support and well wishes he and his family and friends have received from the football world and beyond. It would be utterly overwhelming, he'd be crying with joy for days. :)

 

Fingers crossed.
