On Good Friday, striker Andy Scott started his 39th game of the 2004/05 season for Leyton Orient, a League match at home to Cheltenham.
Only 20 minutes had passed when Scott began to feel unusually tired. He retreated into his own half for a while, but the problems became worse, and he felt sharp pains in the chest before eventually being substituted at half time.
A doctor quickly diagnosed a lung infection, and Scott thought little of it until he was advised to have further tests and visited a cardiologist.
