""I felt rubbish during the game for some reason... I had a tight chest and wanted to come off after six minutes but I just battled on through like an old warhorse.""
""When they told me I'd had a heart attack, I broke down. Only because I wanted to still play football, I didn't want that to be the end...""
AFC Wimbledon defender Sam Hutchinson revealed he experienced a heart attack during a match against Grimsby on May 3. Despite feeling unwell with chest tightness early in the game, he played the full 90 minutes and scored the winning goal. Post-match, he was diagnosed with a 75% blockage in an artery after experiencing chest pains on the way home. Following successful surgery and the insertion of a stent, Hutchinson expressed fear that his career might be over but is now on the road to recovery, eager to continue playing football.
