Ex-Celtic and Bristol City midfidler Evander Sno suffered a heart attack tonight while playing for Ajax reserves against Vitesse Arnhem.



In the 63rd minute of the match, with the score at 2-2, the midfielder collapsed on the pitch. He was treated by the club’s medical staff and was revived on the pitch before being taken to hospital, where he is now described as being in a stable condition.

Sno is not the first player to collapse on the pitch in recent years.

In 2003 Cameroon’s Marc-Vivien Foe collapsed and died during a Confederations Cup match, four years later Sevilla’s Antonio Puerta also collapsed and died in the penalty area during his side’s opening league match against Getafe. And in 2009 Espanyol’s Daniel Jarque died of a heart attack during the team’s pre-season tour of Italy.

In 2008 Sunderland defender Clive Clarke collapsed at half time while playing for Leicester City against Nottingham Forest but was revived later in hospital.

so sad to hear a bout young people in general suffering from heart attacks but it's in a way even sadder when it happens to footballers/athletes of all kind who have to get medical check ups regularly and everything was supposed to be ok since they were doing their job on the pitch or the arena .

hope he recovers and has a full ,healthy life ahead of him even though he will probably never play football again
