Fabrice Muamba’s Emotional Return To Bolton

Watch this and I bet Fabrice Muamba does a better job at holding back his tears than you can.

Absolutely amazing to see the man who was ‘dead for 78 minutes‘ just six and a half weeks ago, walk on to the pitch to roaring applause from Bolton and Spurs fans. Here’s Fab’s interview with Sky Sports before he took the pitch.

On a side note, good to see Stu Holden looking snazzy in the studio. I wonder how much he’s sweating about the very high possibility of playing football in the Championship next year. For a guy who’s had a full year off of football, perhaps a season at a lower level could be good for him? Maybe I’m just an optimistic sucker.

And is it just me, or is slick Stuey really ramping up the Scottish accent for British TV?
