In a spooky hush that draped the air in the Vitality Stadium, a football game screeched to a sudden halt. The silence pierced the festive Saturday crowd. In the middle of an ordinary football combat, an extraordinary event unfolded. Luton's captain, Tom Lockyer, collapsed on the field.
Our brave captain, known as the stalwart defender gracing the terrain of the Premier League and who had triumphantly returned to the field after an earlier heart surgery in May, found himself locked in an unusual and ghastly battle; a cardiac arrest that prised him down right in the heart of the match against Bournemouth.
