AFL goalkicking great Brendan Fevola has been given a sharp reminder not to take his health for granted after a scary heart episode. The 43-year-old realised something wasn’t right when he was struggling to breathe while walking up the 1000 Steps trail at Mount Dandenong with a friend. While his mate was chatting away with ease during the walk, the former Carlton and Brisbane full forward could hardly draw breath, let alone talk as well. Alarmed, he went straight to a doctor for a blood test.
“I said that I’ve been a bit sore in here over the past couple of months, so that’s why I went and got it checked,” he said. “I thought, geez, I’ve had a couple of mates that have had heart attacks. I’ve had two that have died, two mates, all in the last six months, that are my age and, out of nowhere, just dropped.” After topping the scales at 128kg last year, Fevola recently revealed a drastic change to his daily routine after realising he was unable to run after his five-year-old daughter.
