I'm sure he wouldn't be sitting up just seconds after having a heart attack.
Do you think he played on?:lolol:
 




Well apparently the player in question, SV Roeselare’s Anthony Van Loo was aware he had a heart condition and had been fitted with an implanted defibrillator.

The device automatically delivers a shock four seconds after the heart arrests. Watch his legs after he collapses which would seem to indicate he received an electric shock - amazing but apparently true :clap::clap:
