ROAD TO RECOVERY: Tom Lockyer
LUTON captain Tom Lockyer said he “literally died” after his heart stopped for two minutes and 40 seconds during his harrowing on-pitch cardiac arrest.
The 29-year-old Welshman, speaking at length for the first time since he collapsed in the 59th minute of the Hatters’ abandoned Premier League game against Bournemouth on December 16, admitted it was “out of his hands” if he would ever play again.
Lockyer was fitted with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator after he was hospitalised for five days.
