Just heard he collapsed at training at spurs yesterday and died this morning aged 45 of cardiac arrest.I wonder if he had heart problems when playing if so it strengthens the call for more monitoring of players health from youth set up onwards

With all the data analysis that we (and other clubs) do with this GPS data etc, can it/is it used for health benefits as well? I kind of assume this stuff can tell heart rates and VO2 etc

Fairly sure he scored against us in the draw at Twerton that sent West Brom down

Why would you monitor a coach though, I can't imagine DC or MS run around with heart rate/GPS monitors fitted when they are running training sessions? |

Sometimes s**t just happens. Wasn't the Bolton chap (who collapsed at Spurs) monitored as a player - with no indication of what ultimately happened

I know a bit about the sort of congenital heart problems that did for Marc Vivian Foe (sp?) and which caused Patrice Muamba to collapse and then retire
they are often very difficult to detect without specialist monitoring (ie going looking for them), and even then it isn't easy. On the other hand, medical knowledge is advancing at quite a pace, not least because (since they are genetic) 'at risk families' are being identified and subject to regular (typically annual) testing and scrutiny. There are a range of different conditions, affecting different parts of the heart, and their patterns of inheritance can vary
the genes related to the inheritance are also being identified, although it is almost impossible to say that 'they are all now known'. And even if they are, the way that they work/cause conditions to present is largely guesswork
my children are monitored regularly, fortunately no test results (either genetic or clinical) have been a cause for concern. Also, we believe that the condition they are checking for is one that you either have or don't - and you can't pass it on if you don't have it
one son plays rugby, though, and he was asked if he has any plans to play professionally. The answer was a clear 'no', and I think he was quite chuffed to be asked until they followed it up with 'that's good. If you did have any we would have been recommending against it'. Because they really just don't know
