Robbie Savage Reveals Shocking Health Scare as Manager: "My Heart-Race Hit 189—Panic Attack in the Dead of Night"
I was idolised at Birmingham. Because of what I’d given for the club. But I wanted to go and play for Mark Hughes. I earned more money, let’s be totally realistic.
“At Macclesfield, I gave them four and a half years of my life, putting that club before my family. Now, there’s no loyalty. I’m hated there. It’s quite strong, right? Just because I left. I should have been able to go to the Brentford game (in the FA Cup), stand there and get applauded. I can’t go back to a club I put my heart and soul into. I didn’t get a wage, by the way. I sold my shares, and there was a financial gain from that. It affected my health, affected my family. It was horrific.
“I feel there’s an injustice because of what I did for Macc. Rob’s money (the owner Rob Smethurst) saved them but I was there every day and built a club. People think I want them to fail. I don’t, they’re doing brilliantly well. John Rooney – brilliant. Crystal Palace (the FA Cup win) brilliant. I’m proud of that, but I have to go to the next stage, which is here.”
