Evander Sno

[Jimmy]

seen this on a few forums, apparently he was playing a reserve game for Ajax when he suffered a heart attack.

hope he makes a speedy recovery

This is happening all too regularly. He's only 23, very worrying. Hope he's OK to continue playing, and at least makes a good recovery.

with all the medical facilities in modern football its probably 1 of the safer places for it to happen now days

Played for Bristol City and scored against us at the Walker's. I wish him a speedy recovery.

I was very impressed by him when Brizzle played us, he looked a real prospect.

Heart defects amongst people of African origin is a worrying trend that I have read some research on that suggests it's a genetic issue.

Best wishes to Sno for a full recovery and here's hoping he plays again.

I thought Sno, like a lot of black Dutch players (Seedorf, Davids, Rijkaard, Kluivert and of course Mark de Vries to name but a few), have Surinamese heritage?

It did strike me as soon as I made the post that he could have been referring to loooooooooooooooooong ancestry rather than recent. A fair point.
