Yes?
His heart issue was one of those unexplainable ones where it just suddenly stopped. Something something electroshmununums.Yes?
Great talent.
Made us tick for season after season.
Clearly not happy making up the numbers.
No?
Would hate to see him suffer again with any club.
Sometimes, self belief can be harmful.
Would he be able to perform over a full season?
It would be such a romantic return in so many ways.
However, I’d hate him to overdo it and end up poorly again or worse just for the romance of it all.
I really don’t know. I just hope he stays well.
I hope you’re right. But whenever I watch him play I will always feel a little uneasy & just keep hoping he has a happy & full retirement.His heart issue was one of those unexplainable ones where it just suddenly stopped. Something something electroshmununums.
With his pacemaker, I believe that risk has been removed, so there's no reason really that he can't continue, that I know of.
Not being a heart specialist though, I could be underplaying it
Great story. Have to question any spurs fans that don’t like the guy.
Yep, he turned it in about 6 months before he leftQuestion away....
Time heals, but not everyone was entirely happy with the way things ended here; nor with the way he spoke rather saltily about us shortly after his departure.
Maybe because we support the Club and not individual players?Great story. Have to question any spurs fans that don’t like the guy.

I'm happy that he survived and recovered to be able to play again, and I admire him for making a comeback, it must have taken courage and self belief to regain his fitness. However, he didn't exactly leave us under the best circumstances, so that left a sour after-taste.
I wish him well, but won't be hankering for him to return. Same as Bale and Poch (although I still love Poch).
We need to move on, and leave the past behind. Just saying how I feel.
So surprised that you feel like that about Gareth.........NOT!And entirely fair enough!
I too wasn't happy at the way things ended.
In terms of pure 'feel good' though, I would be happy if he re-joined us. But I fully understand, and in many ways agree with 'leaving the past behind'
(except Bale though - he can come to spurs whenever he likes as far as I'm concerned....coz he's my boi innit!)
He’s scored again this evening.
He’s a great player and I have no bad feelings towards him, but I have doubts that he would ever want to come back given how hard he pushed to leave in the first place
