Bolton Wanderers and England under 21's midfielder Fabrice Muamba collapsed during the FA Cup quarter-final at White Hart Lane as Tottenham Hotspur hosted Bolton Wanderers.

 

Fabrice 23, received medical treatment while on the field of play shortly after collapsing in the 41st minute of the game. Fabrice was then rushed to hospital as the game was abandoned by match official Howard Webb after consultation with both managers Owen Coyle and Harry Redknapp.

 

Our thoughts go out to the family and friends of Fabrice.

 

Update

Fabrice is stable although in a critical condition in intensive care in the Heart Attack Cente at the London Chest hospital.

We should definitely play 'I Am The Resurrection' before kick off.

'Fab is the resurrection,

he will be alright,

he met up with Nat, but got sent back,

at Spurs last Satd'y night.'

Can you imagine if an opposing player collapsed at reebok

We would have tossers with drums banging out: der der der der der der CHEAT

 

You are judging them by their standards from before last Saturday, hopefully we have all grown up a little in the last week.

Plenty aren't always keen on Liverpool but a nice touch from Kenny..

the world unites, the world unites, fabrice muamba make the world unite

or

All Together now, All together now, were All together now FABRICE MUAMBA (togetttther) - the farm

120mph!!!

Could the above not be improved slightly with a change of words to

 

We'll stay up for Fab

We'll stay up for Fab

For Fabrice Muamba

We'll Stay up for Fab

 

and have an FA Cup version substituting "Stay Up" with "Win it"

 

That should serve purpose of both recognising Muamba and reminding players they are there to do a Job.

 

well, not really

 

The sublety of "He", being God, for Fab (and Owen) gave it deeper relevance

Sing the Great Escape song but stick Mu-am-ba at the end where we normally sing 'Bolton'

 

Works on so many levels

 

 

 

Providing we're winning.

Yes, just the one glitch in your cunning plan BW.

Bolton Wanderers fans attending Saturday's Premier League fixture against Blackburn Rovers are being encouraged to take their seats before 2.50pm in order for the club to show their collective support to Fabrice Muamba and his family ahead of kick-off.

 

When the players appear from the tunnel at 2.55pm, those who will be seated in the Nat Lofthouse Stand lower tier should lift their A2 posters, which will be found located on each seat, above their heads to partake in a fan mosaic that will spell out 'MUAMBA 6'.

 

A video compilation of Fabrice Muamba will be shown on the big screen. Once this has finished being played a period of applause will follow.

 

Your support is very much appreciated by all at Bolton Wanderers Football Club.

I do like Captain Nigel.

Top man, absolutely

Him and SKD, couldn't have better captains at our club

I agree with that.

absolutely.reo coker is a star he showed it when fabrice went down and the write up only supports that

Good article that

I ve not posted since Fabrice collapsed due to a lot of factors, some personal due to the events bringing back memories from the past.

 

A lot of people have moaned in general about the Bolton Team, management, formations , lack of investment etc etc this season.

 

What this incident has done is show what a group of remarkable people we have at the club.

 

Owen Coyle who has been much maligned on here has shown what a LEADER he really is. He has handled himself with remarkable dignity, compassion and represented the club in a way that nobody could have really expected.

 

Kevin Davies showed though going to the hospital immediately after the incident that he genuinely deserves the title SUPER KEVIN DAVIES.

 

However what the article above highlights is how important Reo coker is to this football club. He has been criticised in some quarters on here for various things, however one thing he could never be accused of is lacking passion. We can now add CLASS to this , he has acted like a true LEADER of men.

 

We may get relegated this year and to be honest i even prayed saying that i would be 'happy' for us to go bust as a football club if it meant Fabrice lived. He is living and fighting.

 

Bolton wanderers fans need to start fighting with the same resolve our players and staff has shown. We have a group of players and management who i would be happy to go into battle with. As fans we need to show our support for Fabrice and the club startring today

PROUD TO BE A WANDERER

To be honest, today's the easy day. If there's no atmosphere at the Reebok today, there'll never be atmosphere.

 

Great post though.

Yes, yes and yes, but.....

 

Coyle: not good enough as a manager in the barclays premier league.

Davies: likewise as a player.

 

Neither have shown that leadership quality often enough in the last 12 months of shite we've endured.

I can't get that "Fabrice is a Wanderer" song out of my head .... argh!!

 

I still feel very emotional about what's happened, and I'm sure that there will be tears today. It's made me think a lot about life, had that incident happened to Fabrice anywhere else, in bed, in the gym, in his house,or had we not made it to the quarter finals, he would now be dead ... but somehow it happened there, with all the right people around it. Makes you realise how fragile it all is, and maybe we should all enjoy it all a bit more, and not get hung up on the small stuff.

 

I'll be cheering us on today, if we go 5 down ... after reading the Guardian article, those players must still be emotionally effected, and as Wanderers we need to support them today, regardless.

 

I feel the same as the poster above, and have said it on other forums, I'm not fussed now if we go down, as long as Fabrice is ok - it's put things into perspective, which is a good thing. (secretly I am hoping for the FA cup final, and Fabrice to lift the trophy ..... )

to the Adamms family tune............his name is Fab Muamba,......he comes from near Uganda.......he plays for BWFC...........our amazing refugee.............................if Bolton show the fight Fabrice has,then we've no problems at all staying up. Keep fighting son,a long way to go yet.

Weve had enough songs to fill the 90 minutes suggested on here.

 

Im willing to bet we just get "fabrice muamba (clap clap clap clap clap)."

Top read that article, and Nigel Reo - Coker, what a man. Proud to have him as a captain and but more proud to have him as a Wanderer.

haha

I find it strange that people are talking about us staying up and fabrice recovering almost as either or options.

 

One is more important than the other but we do not have the option of trading one for the other., but we can have both

Near Uganda!
