00:00 Yeah, so Bournemouth had just scored and it had been with VAR for a couple of minutes,
00:04 so I wasn't really exerting myself or anything.
00:07 I was just walking up to the halfway line and then the game kicked off again.
00:11 So I jogged up probably about 10 yards and I remember feeling incredibly lightheaded.
00:17 And I remember thinking, "Oh, I'll be fine in a second."
00:20 And that was the last thing I remember apart from them waking up on the floor.
00:26 And yeah, I wasn't able to move. I couldn't speak.
00:31 And I was just trying to make sense of where I was.
00:35 And eventually it felt like an eternity, but I was finally able to speak and move.
00:43 But I remember in that moment when I couldn't, I remember lying on the floor,
00:46 seeing all the medical staff panicking and thinking, "Oh, I could be dying here,"
00:51 which is obviously not a very nice thought to have.
