You just know that the first person he called when he found out was Calde who immediately stopped whatever he was doing and just started running to be by Orlandi’s side.

Get well, Andrea. Doctors work ruddy miracles with hearts these days.

The silver lining is that he has found out about it and can deal with it. What a great player he was for us.

This in spades. If you have congenital hypertrophy or channelopathy, diagnosis is often made post mortem, with cardiac arrhythmia (sudden cardiac death) the first symptom. He's a lucky bloke. He'll be fine now he's been diagnosed. And he is 34 - he's had a decent career innings, even if his greatest achievement was playing for us in the championship.

Ironically, due to his timidity in the tackle I used to refer to him as having the heart of a mouse.

Best wishes Andrea.

I believe he was studying law while he was with us. He will do well I am sure.
