Pablo Martinez

Very best wishes to the Chippenham player who collapsed yesterday. It certainly puts things in perspective. Sounds like it was a horrible incident but those at the ground reacted brilliantly before the emergency services arrived.

That was the most distressing scene I've ever witnessed on a football pitch. Thankfully Pablo went down very close to our dugout and I think it was Eddie Jones who was the first to realise something was drastically wrong and went to his aid. When you see CPR being administered you only fear the worst. Huge respect to both sets of players, staff and all the medics who were outstanding. 3 ambulances and the air ambulance on the pitch is not something I ever want to see again but the news is good, and Pablo is receiving the best possible care.

Thanks for posting, Bluebird, and sharing some positive news. Hopefully Pablo will make a full recovery and face us in our festive derbies.
