FUCK!!!!
BBC isn't reporting anything yet.
I can't believe an agent would twat he is effectively ok when he's in a coma.
That's just sick!!
Its more likely that the random twat account reporting the coma is bullshit.
Hope he is ok either way

All the main media outlets seem to be behind and reporting that Ginola tweet from 6:36pm, which others have since come out as saying it was his agent that sent it. It's strange how there is pretty much silence on his twitter account as a follow up tweet or picture would put the whole thing to bed.
Still praying for a nothing serious and a speedy recovery. :avbpray:
Come on Daveed - you need to be there to see us into our new stadium.
YID
Get well soon, please.
David Ginola: Former France winger has quadruple heart bypass
His surgeon, speaking with authority of the family, told BBC Sport Ginola was "extremely lucky" to be alive.
What happened?
"David played a sort of charity football match. All of a sudden he collapsed and people thought it was a joke but after one or two minutes they realised it was serious," said Gilles Dreyfus, professor of cardiac surgery at the Monaco Heart Centre.
"Fortunately there was one person who had been trained in CPR, because otherwise he would have been brain dead. They then called the emergency services, who arrived eight minutes later with him in cardiac arrest.
"I was speaking to the captain and he was telling me the girl who was in the ambulance only knew where the football field, which isn't an official one but a private one, was because she had seen it that morning and asked somebody what it was.
"If she hadn't then most likely she would not have found it within the timeframe to save him.
"They arrived with him in cardiac arrest, he was shocked four times on site, they were able to restore a normal heart rhythm and within 10 minutes a helicopter arrived to transfer him to Monaco Heart Centre.
"I made the decision to transfer him to the operating theatre and he immediately underwent a quadruple heart bypass, which was very straightforward although difficult.
"This morning he woke up perfectly normally with no neurological damage and is now recovering from a bypass like anybody would normally do.
"It was a sequence of events that at every stage went absolutely fine, that is why he is here today. Luckier you can't be. It's an unbelievable story."

The person that administered CPR deserves big thanks as do all the medical staff. Get well soon David.
I can't tell what's going on, but I hope he can fight through it regardless. My Grandad had his third heart attack on Monday and got home yesterday. I'll be absolutely devastated if 2016 claims any spurs legends though. Cruyff hurt badly, I couldn't stand to lose one of our own.
Thoughts & prayers with David & his family.
Really shocking news but thankfully it sounds like there will be a happy ending.

I just saw a report saying at first when he collapsed someone thought it was a joke. What sort of dick pretends to have a heart attack on the pitch.
Fabregas after every bit of contact in our game against the Chavs springs to mind.
Sorry, it isn't a laughing matter really, & you're absolutely right.
I think it's okay to joke about these things, but faking a heart attack on a football pitch is pretty dark. There was two kids up in Scotland, one playing for Hearts youths and one playing for Hibs youths both died of heart attacks a few years back. I'm sure they were both under 18.
Thinking that someone would fake a heart attack anywhere is pretty weird.
