Hope he is alright, but it's not as much of an epidemic as it may seem - put it into perspective of the number of games played across the world every week, how many people participate, then divide that by the number of players who've suffered anything this terrible on the pitch, it's not actually that massive. I'm pretty sure that, if you could find the stats by percentage, more cab drivers die doing their job each week, it's just that this kind of high profile career means that the media report it.Had a heart attack during an Ajax reserve game. Hope he makes a full recovery, again alarming how often this is occuring.
But has this been happening more often in the last ten years or so?
