Mark Bosnich’s punditry colleague reveals ex-Man Utd ace hospitalised over heart scare as fan rally round former keeper
MARK BOSNICH’S punditry colleague revealed how the ex-Manchester United goalkeeper was hospitalised over a heart scare.
Fans have rallied around the Australian football great who was rushed to hospital on Wednesday after complaining of chest pains to his co-workers.
Bosnich, 52, was forced to pull out of Champions League punditry duty after posting a selfie of himself from his hospital bed.
The star did look in good spirits as he had his thumb up saying he will return to duty Friday.
Stan Sport’s Max Rushden and Craig Foster spoke about the scary situation before the Champions League clash between Paris Saint-Germain and Real Sociedad on Thursday morning.
Rushden said: “For those of you who don’t know, he had chest pains, he’s had a stent put in.
“We miss you buddy. I hope you’re well and feeling OK.”
The pair said Bosnich became distressed while exercising at work on Wednesday.
Rushden continued: “He was making a lot of noise and he said ‘I’m going to get it checked out.’
“He did, he’s OK, he’s back tomorrow but we are sending you our love Boz, it is very quiet without you.”

Foster said “Bozza” immediately seeking help was the right thing to do.
The TV pundit added: “If you’re not sure about anything, health-wise, get checked.
“Men are useless at talking about it and doing anything about it.
“The sooner you find anything is wrong, the better it is. That is our message and that is Mark’s message too.”
Bosnich won the Premier League title with United in 2000 and is regarded as a football cult hero due to his success on and off the pitch.
After hanging up his gloves in 2009, the former Socceroo is now a regular on Australian television as a pundit for football.
Fans showed their support for the ex-Aston Villa keeper including former boxing champion George Kambosos Jr wishing him a “Speedy recovery.”
