Ep7 - John Fenlon

What’s the worst thing that can happen to you on a rugby pitch? How about nearly dying?

John Fenlon doesn’t need to imagine that because that’s what happened to him during a veterans match one cold Friday evening.

Swift action by teammates and the opposition meant he ended the night in hospital, and he is now back to full health, chasing his children around and even putting his boots back on now he’s received the all clear.

In this chat he recalls his memory of the night, how reality brought him back to earth quickly, and the debt of gratitude he owes those who kept him alive.
