Player dies...

[:Hazel]

Thats awful. It could happen to anyone really.. One minute your running around on a footy pitch and then your gone. Makes you think twice. RIP

Mikel Arteta swallowed his tongue againest Dinamo Bucharest.

He just started fitting. I was there and it was so frigging scary!

That was Marc Vivian Foe who played for Cameroon. He played for West Ham and Man City also.

Fadiga is from Senegal, he once collapsed whilst warming up before a game with Bolton but luckily he never died. But yeah, like Nekkle said you are probably thinking of Foe.

It's not known how he died, but he collapsed & swollowed his tongue. Confirmed dead around 6pm. He died from natural causes rather than an injury relating to the match, from what i have read, he just collapsed without any apparent knock.

Rest in peace Matt.

My condolences are with his friends, family, team mates & supporters.

Why post that he swallowed his tongue? Now i'm scared I'll swallow mine

I think it only occurs when or if you have a fit, thats partly why you have to hold the persons head up when there having a fit.
