marple whites Posted March 18, 2012 Posted March 18, 2012 From a great day to a terrible day. Junior Marple was mascot for this game, me and Gumbo had been in the dressing room prior to the game and seen Fab smiling and joking. He signed autographs as did all our players. I have never been in such a sickening situation, from an eerie silence with all willing the medics on, to the whole crowd singing Fabs name. That 15 minutes felt like a lifetime and is something that will be very hard to forget. The number of people shedding a tear was unbelievable and just shows what a great family football is and reitterates to me why football would be nothing without the fans. Great thanks to all at Spurs - the stewards, police and fans who were superb and showed dignity, respect and sorrow. I just hope Fab survives for the sake of his family. Football pales in to an insignificance at times like this. Live for today and never take life for granted. Quote

Felt as though i shouldn't be watching but couldn't turn off. Well done to all there, the shouts of "come on Fab!" when trying to revive him really got me. Well handled by Howard Webb too. In a game marred with racism, cheats, sexist etc etc the unity shown throughout the footballing world has proved the beautiful game is not lost, hopefully Fab will pull through and be chuffed to bits with all the support hes had. Still praying for you pal. Quote

If we do play Rovers on Saturday, please, please lets sell out the Reebok and pay a fitting tribute to Fabrice. I pray to god that he will pull through. Quote
Boby Brno Posted March 18, 2012 Posted March 18, 2012 Just read this thread for the first time since the incident and it's chilling to go through the drama again. What started out as an exciting cup encounter turned to tragedy in the blink of an eye. I have nothing but respect for the Spurs fans who were as shocked and distressed as we were coming out of the ground and went out of their way to offer support and good wishes to us and Fabrice. Get well lad. Quote
glossopWANDERER Posted March 19, 2012 Posted March 19, 2012 horrible reading this thread back to relive the moment. nothing can be said to make me or anyone else feel any better, all we can do is hope and pray that he can recover to the best he can to enjoy the rest of his life with his family Quote

I have a four minute video of Junior lad which I will keep for you nevertheless. I phoned my mate from Newcastle and Zico trying to find out some information because it was so difficult to know what was going on. Initially I thought Boyata was down then worked out it was Muamba. I then thought 'oh bollocks not another serious injury' and it was only when the ground went slient and Coyle ran on the pitch that it was clear something was not right. Hoping he pulls through. COYWM Quote

Just to echo that; been going 35 years but nothing prepares you for something like that; still can't get the vision of the first point at which we realised he was gettng cpr our of me head, and silence that followed. But the noise that followed that from us and - more importantly them - does at least bring one positive out of the whole horror, showing, as you say, that fans can react as one when it matters. Every credit to the Spurs fans during the events and during the walk back to the station. Not sure I could face the rearranged game, so God knows how the players feel about it. Quote
Ben Der Posted March 19, 2012 Posted March 19, 2012 horrible reading this thread back to relive the moment. nothing can be said to make me or anyone else feel any better, all we can do is hope and pray that he can recover to the best he can to enjoy the rest of his life with his family i just thought the same. it is horrible to see how emotion can swing in such a small space of time. Come on Fab keep fighting! Quote

Don't think I will ever forget that, or the reactions of the players who were nearby at the time when they could tell it clearly wasn't working. Quote

I hope there was a small part of Fabrice's consciousness registering the singing It may have just made a difference Quote
