Former football manager Glenn Hoddle reveals he 'died for 60 seconds' when he collapsed after suffering a cardiac arrest in a television studio.
The Tottenham Hotspur legend said his heart stopped for a minute while filming at the BT Sport studios on his 61st birthday in October.
Hoddle said he 'would not be here' if a sound engineer didn't rush to his aid and break seven ribs while frantically pounding his chest to bring him back to life.
The ex-footballer told The Sun: 'The engineer ran to me and brought me back to life. I wouldn't be here if not for him. It just wasn't my time to go.'
