Match was being broadcast on ESPN and not the BBC.

 * Really the whole last sentence "The live broadcast stated that the information on his condition had not been confirmed." is unsourced and uninformative, and should just be removed outright. 87.113.82.247 (talk) 18:55, 17 March 2012 (UTC)

Fabrics suffered a heart attack during a match against spurs on the 17th of March 2012.

 * We know, that has been noted already. --Arsenalkid700 (talk) 19:24, 17 March 2012 (UTC)


 * The cited sources say he collapsed and that CPR and a defibrillator was used. They don't say he had a heart attack (and the article doesn't say that either).  A defibrillator is used to treat "heart attacks", but it's also used in other emergency circumstances. Wikipedia has to stick to what sources actually say, not what inferences might be drawn. 87.113.82.247 (talk) 20:03, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Some sources say "suspected" heart attack. IANAE, but I believe defibs are used to treat cardiac arhythmia (sp), not heart attack. Guinness2702 (talk) 20:57, 17 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Actually the reference provided says no such thing, it actually says "fighting for his life". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.67.37.224 (talk) 20:25, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Sky news say he's stablePunkalyptic (talk) 20:32, 17 March 2012 (UTC)

BBC says he's in a critical condition in the heart attack centre, intensive care, sounds very bad. PatGallacher (talk) 21:36, 17 March 2012 (UTC)

Any word after being sedated?108.14.121.21 (talk) 03:57, 19 March 2012 (UTC)

It has to be added that he has suffered from a heart attack as of 17th March, and if he subsequently recovers or god forbid passes away will have to be added as well.

 * Heart attack has already been added. thank you, Struway2 (talk) 09:46, 19 March 2012 (UTC)

Please update the information on Muamba's current condition following the statement issued by Bolton Wanderers Football Club on March 19th 2012, that further progress has been made in regard to the players recovery. Fabrice Muamba can now recognise family members and answer questions appropriatley and his heart is now beating and working on its own without the support of machinery. Thankyou.

Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. Thanks, Celestra (talk) 03:48, 20 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Well actually that was done already. --Arsenalkid700 (talk) 04:11, 20 March 2012 (UTC

The page should mention that BWFC staged a show of support at their next match against Blackburn Rovers at home. Please see the following article from the BBC: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-manchester-17498947

Thanks.


 * I've added the image to the article, with an informative caption rather than adding more prose to the section. Hope this is OK. Thank you very much for taking the trouble to donate this excellent image. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 20:07, 24 March 2012 (UTC)

Good article
Shall we try and make this good article status? 03 md  17:40, 20 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah, you get working on it. Make sure it meets all the criteria, I don't think it does at the moment.  Rcsprinter  (natter)  @ 21:59, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

Twitter racism?
Should the article mention Liam Stacey, who was jailed for 56 days as a result of posting racist bilge about Muamba on Twitter in the immediate aftermath of Muamba's collapse? DS (talk) 00:31, 13 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I'd be inclined to say not here. Obnoxious as his comments were, the offence was more relevant to personal responsibility for views expressed using social media than it was to Fabrice Muamba. Might be more appropriate to include in an article on British (or English/Welsh?) law as it relates to social media, if we had one, or at Twitter usage. If it were mentioned here, we shouldn't include his name: the reader wouldn't gain greater understanding of Fabrice Muamba by reading the name of the offender. Though I'd change my mind if the case ends up being used as shorthand for a person being responsible for the content of their tweets, along the lines of the Bosman ruling. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 09:30, 13 June 2012 (UTC)

Campaigning seemingly not mentioned?
Following Christian Eriksen's collapse today in the UEFA Euro 2020 Finals, reporters on BBC News mentioned that campaigning by Muamba had improved facilities (which they said benefited Eriksen). This article currently doesn't seem to mention such campaigning. Per WP:NOTCOMPULSORY and WP:BNO, I'm not sufficiently well-informed or interested to want to try to fix this myself, but some other editorhere might have a go.
