Hi all, missed the weekend after having a near death experience, when my 16yo son found me barely conscious and coveted in vomit, my toungue swollen to twice its size after taking an allergic reaction to some meds.
He stripped me cleared my airways and called an ambulance.
So i'm not too bothered about the mini crisis at old trafford just now.
Suffice to say life is short i'm lucky Jack found me when he did and i'm lucky he at 16 had the skills and presence of mind to be calm and know exactly what to.
For me the sun will come up tomorrow and that's all i care about at the moment.

Looking forward to the valencia game tomorrow. Was meant to be going but my brother in law got my ticket now. let's hope for a positive reaction from the players selected.

{Ed007's Note - That's heavy, Ken but it's good to hear that you're OK and well done Jack 👍 You're lucky it wasn't your wife that found you though with your tongue that size 😜

Ha ha bond. i thought i heard her akin n the doctors if the could fix the rest but leave the oversized toungue.

{Ed007's Note - It's good that you can joke about it but that must have been scary stuff for your family mate.}

Sheesh Ken hope you are alright mate. Very brave and clever of your son to know what to do in that sort of situation. Makes you realise football is just a game and there is way more to life. Get well soon as this site is a much poorer site without your input.

Ken brother glad you are ok. Gosh reminds me oh my recent heart ops as well. Life is too delicate and I am so glad that you are back recovering. Glad we have kids at hand looking after us oldies 🙏🤦‍♂️.
Let’s try to meet up some time soon. I’ll try to pay a visit to Ireland and if you come by Singapore do let me know. We are not getting any younger and need to live life to fullest. Football is just a game and I am so appreciative of the friends I meet here (even from other clubs) .
God bless you and will keep praying for you to get back to 100%.

Glad you're ok Ken. Terrible experience, but luckily your son did the right thing.
I used to work for BP in the 80s and had training in CPR. I have used this 3 times, once on my 2yr old son at the time, and most recently on a friend in a restaurant, who was choking to death. Luckily it worked every time.
I would strongly recommend for anyone to take a first aid course.
As for United, i don't care anymore, i just hope the problems are sorted and the manager and players take responsibility and behave in the manner required from a United employee.

Wow Ken, I hope you are recovering well mate and top work by your son.

I swear I thought there was going to be some punch line about the West Ham game in there until I realised you were serious.

Get well soon and you must be very proud despite going through a scare like that. All the best.

At 16 MH he has earned his stripes. 😂😂
Totally on the mend now.
Cheers for all the good wishes.

Its like i said when i went over to play that match earlier this year. I walked into a dressing room having not met any one of them before but it was not like walking into a room full of strangers it was like walking into meet a bunch of old friends.
None of us agree on too much but the community spirit on this site is second to none. Its like a familly. Sure there are a couple of 2nd cousins twice removed that are a bit potty 😂😂😂 but they are still family all the same and your still happy to see them.

On another note ill be posting an article as a self confessed jose fan called the '7 Deadly sins committed by jose since becoming Manchester united manager'

Yeah i know there is more than 7 sins he has committed but these are the sins that to me personally are the main reasons why i will not be sorry when he is gone.
I really look forward to the debates i hope the article will create.

Jaysus Ken, thank God you're okay pal! And fair play to that young lad of yours. he deserves immense praise. Although a scary moment, I'm sure you are very proud. And I hope he can be proud of himself.

Hope you see a full recovery bud. Wishing you all the best.

Thank god your son was there and able to stay calm in what must have been a frantic situation.
Wishing you all the best in your recovery.
Sometimes the football rivalries, banter and abuse takes a back seat.

I had a quadruple bypass a couple of years ago and watching the current incarnation of Utd is certainly trying, many a time my other half will make her way upstairs after hearing me shouting obscenities at the screen after yet another chance is missed or another lazy pass goes astray, it's not good for anyone's health. Glad you're ok Ken and praise to your lad.


32.) 02 Oct 2018
