Tom Lockyer relives scary play-off final collapse and admits he felt he let teammates down

Luton Town defender Tom Lockyer has revealed his experience of collapsing on the Wembley pitch during last month's Championship play-off final having since been given the all-clear.

The 28-year-old has revealed that he suffered atrial fibrillation on the Wembley turf, causing him to briefly lose consciousness during the first half of the match against Coventry. Luton went on to win on penalties, with the central defender watching on from his hospital bed alongside his family.

Luton were left to play on following Lockyer being taken to hospital, with the match going to extra time before promotion to the Premier League was sealed with a penalty shootout win.
