Former Bristol Rovers defender Tom Lockyer has revealed he’s been given the all-clear after suffering an irregular heartbeat during the Championship play-off final for Luton Town which caused him to collapse and be taken to hospital.
Lockyer was stretchered off at Wembley after falling to the ground inside his own half with nobody around him and after several minutes of medical treatment was taken to hospital with Luton going on to beat Coventry City 6-5 on penalties.
The 28-year-old, who made 285 appearances for the Gas between 2012 and 2019 after starting his career in north Bristol, was diagnosed with a atrial flutter - an abnormal heart rhythm which causes the upper chambers of the heart to beat too quickly - and in an interview with Sky Sports has described the moments leading up to, during and after the incident.
