He's been in my thoughts since this news came out yesterday.
I had a heart attack 12 years ago and had stents put in. Two years ago I failed an exercise stress test and being self employed I was thrown out of work immediately. A few weeks later I was in hospital and went into cardiac arrest while they changed stents, it's a very scary time for Gary and his family, but he will get through this I have no doubt.
He will already be familiar with having dietary needs to help a health condition, so I'm sure he will take this in his stride.

Get well soon skip!

Having just investigated the quality of her artistic output via Fake Driving School. I'd be very skeptical that anyone would realistically not go near that :) I am however dubious that she would be able to assess a 3 point turn with any credibility.
 
Many years ago,for reasons I don't need to go into, i was able to blag way my way into helping out on team photo day at WHL. Mabbutt was still captain, and for a pro footballer, the day must have been an utter ballache. Sitting around for hours for each sponsors photo (they take the main one that we all see. then they take loads of others, for each sponsor, with the players holding banners with the logo, or holding the sponsors product(s). Lots of people there, some with kids, all looking for autographs (Kind of day where , even though excited to be there, you start to get tired after several hours of it. and I didnt have a training session to look forward to after it was done)
Some of the players started to cock about after a while, just silly things to irritate the photographer and ruin shots, which was understandable.
Mabbutt never did. the whole day, up to when we left, he was professional, polite and courteous. Had time for everyone that wanted to speak to him. When Bill Nicholson turned up, first person over to shake his hand. Mabbutt was everything you want your club captain to be.

Like many others, I look forward to seeing him at the opening day of the preparation H stadium (or, lets face it, White Hart Lane, as the supporters will ALWAYS call it)
 
I only saw him last week walking his 2 dogs. Looked very healthy and tanned. Just shows that outward appearances mean nothing. Get well soon Gary.
 
Just goes to show sometimes with this news and just reading that Cheick Tiote collapsed and died in training in China and the same with Ugo back in April. Its amazing how often this seems to happen to sports people at the top of their game or former sports people who would have had years of fitness work and testing.
