Like when Levein had his heart attack, it sounds like it happened at the best possible time (if there is such a time for a heart attack!) as someone was able to give CPR immediately and then straight to hospital to get a stent put in.

been here before Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Evening News... Hearts legend Jim Jefferies thanks medics after surgeon and first aider spotted heart attack signs on golf course Jim Jefferies has paid tribute to the medical staff who saved his life and thanked the hundreds of well wishers who got in touch after he suffered a heart attack while playing golf at Gullane on Monday. Tynecastle greats Rudi Skacel, John Robertson and Gary Mackay were among those who contacted him this week. Skacel, who is now based in Los Angeles, has invited Jefferies to the States and hopes that the pair can play a round of golf together once his ex-boss has made a full recovery. Jefferies, 68, was released from hospital on Wednesday and is making excellent progress. But the man who guided Hearts to their historic 1998 Scottish Cup final triumph has revealed that he "died for 20 seconds" in the ambulance on the way to hospital. And it was the chance intervention of fellow golfers at Gullane which helped paramedics treat him quickly. "I would like to say how grateful I am to the paramedics and all the people in the cath lab at Edinburgh Royal Infirmary and all the wonderful medical staff," Jefferies said. "The nurses do a fantastic job - the work they do is just phenomenal. "I was always confident I was going to pull through. But there was a moment when I thought to myself: 'I hope I'm going to survive this', but I always had confidence in the paramedics. They were always talking to me and telling me 'you're doing so well'. I was out of it but they are trained to expect that kind of thing, they brought me back and they stayed with me right to the end." Jefferies said he experienced strange feelings in his chest three weeks ago while playing golf. He was playing golf again last Friday and began to feel unwell. He decided to have it checked and went for a screening at the hospital and everything seemed OK. But the club doctor at Edinburgh City, where Jefferies is director of football, asked him to have more tests. Jefferies was due to play in a charity golf event on Friday so decided to play at Gullane on Monday to see how he felt. If he didn't feel up to it he was going to pull out of the charity match. He began his round at the East Lothian course and started to feel really bad. His friends realised it was serious. There was a woman first aider at the side of the green who was up from London for the Solheim Cup and recognised the signs. An ambulance was called and an American teeing off nearby overheard the conversation. He turned out to be a surgeon and decided it was so serious, that rather than go to the local hospital in Haddington, Jefferies should go straight to the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary. Jefferies blacked out during the ambulance journey. "I died for 20 seconds but I was in the right place because these people knew what to do and they were absolutely brilliant as a I blacked out," he said. Jefferies has now had a stent fitted and his consultant is delighted with his progress and expects to see him back out on the golf course soon - provided he uses a buggy. "I've had hundreds of messages from all over the world, with people sending their best wishes," Jefferies said. "Rudi Skacel sent me a message from LA, saying 'I know how much you love playing golf so next time you are over here bring your clubs and we'll play a round'. "John Robertson and Gary Mackay have also been touch along with many of my former players." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaun.lawson Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 From The Fiver: “Saddened to read about Jim Jefferies having a heart attack. Despite him being loved all round at Hearts, my most enduring memory of him was finding his number in a phone book and calling him from a payphone with my friend when we were 12 years old. His wife made him speak to us and we spent hours every week talking about football. He was a true gent and even got us lots of free tickets for Kilmarnock games. Get well soon, Jim” – James Grieve. A man beloved across the world of football and one of my all-time footballing heroes. Wonderful news that he's already out of hospital. Get well soon, Jim.

Kiwidoug Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 What did other oldies think of him as a player. As prev posted, I thought he was extremely good. Very consistent and a 100% effort man. If you ever fancy winding an older person who supports our great friends, compare him favorably to Stanton. Drives them mad it does. Fair comparison as they were compatriots who played in a similar position. Don't tell anyone but Stanton was marginally better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
