Amex Heart Attack Victim - Message from Son

[seagull 1979]

That's great news - I'm sure everyone here wishes him all the best in his recovery. I imagine he'll be back before we have Hoskins, Buckley, Vicente and Reyes all on the pitch at the same time.

this.

Get well soon Bill. x

Take it nice and easy Bill. This thread proves that those Twitter followers knocking NSC all the time are wrong.

 

[Mellor 3 Ward 4]

Glad to hear he is doing well. Excellent news.

Well Done to ALL those involved in helping him on Saturday, and in his recovery.

Thanks very much for your letter, I saw your Dad on the ground very soon after he fell, infact before any real medical attention had arrived. He, like myself probably left the stand 30 secs or so before final whistle as I heard it as I reached bottom of stairs. Unfortunately this can be a neccessity particularly for elderly folk like your Dad, or the consequenses can be to wait in the cold or rain for the best part of an hour for public transport so fully understand.
Very relieved to hear your good news, please pass on sincere good wishes, he's a credit to his club for his loyal support, as are those who came to his aid.
Hope you both enjoy tonights game.

Good to hear. Good work by your brother too. Great post.

A big thank you to all of those who have posted. I am seeing my Dad on Thursday and will print this thread off and show my dad your comments. He will appreciate your kind thoughts and the humour.
My dad has been progressing well although he's still very poorly.
He won't be up to listening tonight but would have appreciated the score at HT. CMS is his favourite player...he saw him at Peterborough last season and was impressed by his relentless workrate and sharpness. We were both thrilled when we managed to sign him.
I haven't made it to the game tonight but listening in on Seagulls player. How great it would be if we could hang onto a victory.
epc, would you give your brother a big 'thank you' from our family.
We are all really moved by the help that was given to my dad and the genuine concern that has been shown.

And now for a test of how strong my heart is for the next 45 minutes.

Hope he makes a full recovery soon and I hope that he is very happy when he finds out the final score of tonight's game!

Best wishes to you, your dad and family. Three points from Pride Park should help!

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

A good tonic tonight!! Here's to a speedy recovery

 

[Prodigal Son]

Glad to hear that your Dad is on the mend.

Hope he is back at the Amex soon.

I enjoyed reading your post too.

Hi,

Hope your Dad is recovering well - good to hear. We were at the game and knew something had happened.

Hope he is well enough to see the boys again soon. Take care.

 

[Dover]

Mancgull.

Good luck to you're Dad. Please let me know if I can help in any way.

 

[Discodoktor]

Best wishes Bill, and good win for all us seagull supporters tonight.

Im just glad it didn't happen at the withdean! I'm not being flippant, I just know the training and the equipment wouldnt have been there last season. Get Well Soon Bill.

 

[NMH]

Steward training is extensive and perhaps a little arduous - but if it contributes to saving just one person's life.....it's priceless, all worthwhile.
Great to know our stewards put the training into fruitful action.....along with the others who were involved of course.

Get well soon Albion pop, and get back to the Amex stands asap :thubsup:
