Robbie Savage Reveals Shocking Health Scare as Manager: "My Heart-Race Hit 189—Panic Attack in the Dead of Night"
Detailing the pressures of his job, Savage relates a story of how preparation for a Saturday game at Gateshead was complicated by off-field events. “Friday morning, had a phone call from a player – in hospital, ill. The next night, a player’s grandma died. A player’s father had a heart attack.” Savage showed compassion, made changes, and won the game 2-0.
Trailing 2-1 at half-time at Eastleigh, Savage addressed the players. “I don’t like standing up in front of people. I’ve got to deliver a team talk. Our fans are amazing, but there’s a little portion that when we’re getting beat 2-1 at Eastleigh, it’s ‘you don’t know what you’re doing’.” Savage changed four players and won 4-2. “What I’m very good at is I know football. I know what a game needs.”
