Hoddle recalls how he was ‘gone for 60 seconds’

Former England manager Glenn Hoddle has spoken for the first time since his cardiac arrest on a TV studio set, revealing his heart stopped for 60 seconds.

He said he was “gone” when he collapsed at the end of a live BT Sport broadcast, hitting the back of his head on the floor – and had to be brought back to life by a sound engineer.

Hoddle told The Sun that sound engineer Simon Daniels broke seven of his ribs while performing CPR.

He said: “The engineer ran to me and brought me back to life. I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for him. It just wasn’t my time to go.”

The former manager was a guest on the Live Saturday Morning Savage Show and had been playing a keepy-uppy game with host Robbie Savage when he went into cardiac arrest.
