Dazzler is right. Depends on the damage to the heart. A friend of mine is in his early 50s and is still bike racing after a heart attack a couple of years ago.
Not saying they're fitness levels are lower than an outfield player but guess they have to cover a lot less ground over a game at a lot slower speed (running)
Sensible decision but no way for one of the greatest Goalkeepers in recent years to bow out
Aye, the best in the world at various points and the skipper for Spain teams that were some of the best to ever play the game.
Just glad he seems to be doing okay and has his health. His career had been in decline for a while, basically since Mourinho got ahold of him, but still, as you say, not the way you want to bow out.
Pathetic if true, type of thing pissed 18 year olds do on their mate's phones, rather than something a grown man who should realise what effect it'll have should be doing.

Certainly one of the greatest Goalkeepers of recent years
I hope he gets better soon.
Surely if he has had a heart operation it would be to dangerous to play again

You can only hope he is more comfortable being himself now. Much love Iker.
Now backpedalling and pretending he was hacked.
Shows attitudes towards LGBT within football still isn't where it should be.
