Fabrice Muamba has announced he will retire from football due to illness

It came as a surprise but he had no choice than to save his life.It follows his heart attack in last  season;s FA Cup against Tottenham Hotspurs.

The 24 year-old Congolese born had previously spoken of his determination to resume his career after his incredible recovery from the collapse which left him effectively dead for 78 minutes.But he has now bowed to medical advice from many specialists.

Muamba has been described by sources close to him as''shattered'' that he will not be able to continue playing football at all.But after consultations with England and Pedro Brugada the Belgium-base cardiologist,the former England Under 21 midfielder has retired.Muamba said:"As part of my ongoing recovery,last week I travelled to Belgium to seek further medical advice from a leading cardiologist.But the news I received was obviously not what I had hoped it would be,and it means I am now announcing my retirement".
"Football has been my life since I was teenage boy and it has given me so many opportunities.Since suffering from my heart and being discharged from hospital,I have remained utterly positive in the belief I could one day resume my playing career and playing for Bolton Wanderers".
  • A great lose for Bolton and the entire football family
  • Young and gifted but illness forced him to hangup his boots

  • A dream shutdown for him as he hoped to resume his playing career.
A benefit game for Muamba is also a possibility,with the player attracting widespread support from the global football community.

Lets stand by our players and give them the support they need in good times and bad times.

  3. It is truly a great loss to the football nation, Muamba is a good and talented player I hope he can find something productive to do, beacause when players hang their soccer boots by force they usually end up on the wrong side of the law.

  5. It is unfortunate for Fabrice Muamba to get early retirement and it is very rare to find young players getting early retirement like Fabrice but lets just accept that it happened even though we lost such a good talented player.

    1. A great loss man in the football family but sometimes you got to live with it and no replacement for the talented player.

  6. This is a huge reality check for many people because these football stars are so prominent that they almost seem invincible to a certain extent. I hope he finds peace and happiness in whatever direction his life follows. I guess in between the drama, the suspense and the sky high pay checks we have forgotten that these players are after all still human.

  8. Sometimes things happens in life, others you can runaway from them others you can't, what i can say is that God save him eventhough he may loose his career on hand but doing consultation means you need to know more, i did appreciate the way london base club Bolton on the support they gave him left and right, good or Bad, but he cannot choose his life but he can choose how to live it from now on. i wish him and his family the best.

  10. He must give others a chance and if he felt the need to retire then he must as it is his choice and I'm sure he thought long and hard about it.

    1. Actually it was not an easy decision to make and it was not his choice but doctors.

  11. anyway, we cannot keep on crying for him to come back again to the football hence we cannot achieve what we would like to achieve. his illness is not within our power to change.

  12. Going through a eart disease at such a tender age, is quite daunting. I believe that Health is the most important thing one could want to have. Its astounding that even soccer players have to go through this. I know nothing about football, and I must say that I feel sorry for this man

  13. This is truely sad, I mean football has been his life as he said. I think Muamba's situation goes to show that we do have to rely on our talents but also have a qualification to back us up.

    1. Agree with you on that but for him as the team promised to offer him a job is no longer going to be a stress.Qualifications opens doors after retirement.
