Footy match in the midday sun, not very clever. Now having some tests done. Whoever voted for a World Cup in Qatar in the summer?

Reports had indicated the former Newcastle United, Tottenham Hotspur, Aston Villa and Everton winger, aged 49, was on a football pitch at the time.

Despite apparently being unconscious as he was airlifted to a hospital in Monaco, he appeared to be in good spirits and even found time to mock FIFA.
He wrote: “Footy match in the midday sun, not very clever. Now having some tests done. Whoever voted for a World Cup in Qatar in the summer?”
