Kirkham man describes moment his life turned upside down after cardiac arrest

The 29-year-old has previously played for Blackpool, Chorley and Bamber Bridge

A football player from Kirkham has described the moment his life ‘turned upside down’ after suffering a cardiac arrest when he would have been preparing to compete for the Fenix Trophy Final.
Adam Dodd, 29, is a plumber and plays football at a semi-professional level for FC United of Manchester. He has also previously played for Blackpool, Chorley and Bamber Bridge.

Following that surgery though, he is looking at months without any income as a self-employed tradesman, as he recuperates both physically and also mentally as he comes to terms with in his words “going to hell and back”.

A crowdfunder has been set up to support Adam to ensure that his hardship is minimised while he fights to get back to where he was. The team says they hope Adam will make his hundredth FC appearance proudly wearing that captain’s armband. To donate to the fundraiser, click here.
