Mbabazi hopeful of playing again
Former St Patrick’s Athletic star Charles Mbabazi Livingstone, who was forced to retire from the game after collapsing on the pitch during a league clash with Bohemians in October, has revealed that he may yet make a return to competitive football.
Tests conducted following his worrying collapse on the field of play diagnosed Livingstone with an irregular heart problem, and he was told to bring his playing days to an end.
But the 23-year-old Ugandan international captain, widely held to be one of the eircom League’s best ever foreign imports, will receive advice on his situation over the winter, and he remains hopeful of making a full recovery.
He told the Irish Daily Mirror: "Eamonn Collins, the Pats manager, has been speaking to a few clubs in England for me, to see if they can point me in the right direction. There is still a definite chance that I could play again. We’re looking for a second opinion from specialists in this field and I remain absolutely positive about my future."
