 23year old  Black British footballer Fabrice Muamba remains critically ill in hospital as he battles to recover from a heart attack. BBC Radio4 lunchtime news reports Muamba received CPR continuously over a long period en route to hospital. Eventually his heart was able to beat again and he remains currently anaesthetised at the London Chest Hospital, where he is being treated following his heart attack.
The dramatic scene from yesterday on the football pitch as paramedics performed CPR in front of thousands of fans, is a poignant reminder of how precarious life is. The lachrymose event also brings to mind the tragic death of Cameroonian footballer Marc-Vivien Foé who collapsed and later died during a football match in France, in June 2003 at the age of 28. Vivien Foé had also suffered a heart attack. 
Pictures from Muamba's private Twitter account shows him on a Valentine's dinner date with his fiancée Shauna Magunda. Another shows him cuddling up with the couple's young son Joshua and the loving caption  "Chilling with my son after a long day.Fatherhood is a gift from God".
