Fabrice Muamba transferred his fancy footwork from the football pitch to the ballroom – and now he is hooked on dancing. The 24-year-old, who survived a cardiac arrest on the pitch, wowed the Strictly Christmas special audience and judges with a lively salsa and then revealed he may do a full series.

Great story to post here on Unathletic today. Most of us know about Fabrice Muamba who essentially ‘died’ on the pitch during an EPL match less than a year ago. Muamba’s heart was stopped for more than an hour last March and now he’s dancing up a storm. Tremendous recovery, great story..
