The Belgian whose heart pegged out during a game and is not expected to survive. And for his close ones.

Desperately sad story.

It's very sad, particularly as footballers are generally as fit as can be, yet it seems a regular occurrence. Marc Vivian Foe and Fabrice Muamba ones that stand out in my memory. Thankfully the latter survived and I wish the same miracle, as unlikely as it currently appears, for Gregory Mertens.
Such a shame that the majority of us will only be familiar for his name because of such a tragic event.

Not forgetting our own John Howe (although with the other shaped ball)
