“Every year around this time, I am asked what I am thankful for and every year I struggle to find the right words. But this year, I know exactly what I’m thankful for: to be alive. I want to take a moment to acknowledge something I realized – I spent so many years taking life for granted. I made plans for the next day, the next year, always thinking that tomorrow was guaranteed. I’ve seen close friends pass away, I’ve seen others go through near-death experiences, and even then, I didn’t fully understand how precious life is. What I went through recently opened my eyes. Life is fragile and every moment counts. I am so grateful to God for giving me the strength to continue and for allowing me to still be here“, initially stated the 34-year-old striker of the “Hammers”.
And he continued:To the emergency services, the NHS, the air ambulance, everyone at the Royal London and Cromwell hospitals and everyone at West Ham. The medical team, the board, all the staff, my teammates and the amazing West Ham fans… I honestly couldn’t have done it without you. thank you from the bottom of my heart. To my loved ones who have stood by me through it all, I can’t express how much you mean to me. Finally, to the entire football community, thank you for all the love and support you have shown me. It really meant everything. I love you all and am endlessly grateful for each and every one of you. Happy New Year – and I’ll be back on the field soon».
