Terry Thanks For Arsenal Physio

John Terry the Chelsea and England captain has praised and thanked Gary Lewin, the Arsenal physio stating, “I owe you my life!”

Terry was accidentially kicked in the face by the Arsenal player Abou Diaby during Sunday’s Carling Cup Final in Cardiff and knocked unconscious. He apparently swallowed his tongue and reports suggest that he was actaully turning blue! However, it was Lewin who rushed to his aid in seconds. Fortunately, he was postioned behind the Arsenal goal treating one of his own players when the incident took place.

Terry has since confirmed he remembers nothing after walking out onto the pitch for the second half until he woke up in the ambulance on his way to hospital. Terry was told of Lewin’s crucial intervention when he came round. He asked if he could personally thank Lewin and he therefore waited outside the Arsenal dressing to personally have a word and thank him for saving his life.

A neuro-surgeon has since confirmed how serious the accident was. John Firth has stated that Terry was “four minutes from death” after swallowing his tongue which was dislodged by Lewin. The surgeon further confirmed, “Lewin’s intervention was crucial because his skills helped dislodge Terry’s tongue. The other big fear at that stage is whether the player has broken his neck and that is why he was carried off in a neck brace.”

Terry is certainly a very lucky guy.
