dailyrecord - HEART TIMEBOMB CAUGHT UP WITH FOOTIE-MAD DAVIE

dailyrecord - HEART TIMEBOMB CAUGHT UP WITH FOOTIE-MAD DAVIE: "A FOOTBALL fan who refused to let a heart condition spoil his love of sport has died aged just 23.

Davie Smith was found dead in his bed by his shocked mum, Linda.

The labourer ignored doctors' warnings to avoid sport and socialising and insisted on living life as normal as possible. Linda said: 'He wasn't supposed to play football but he wanted to live life to the full."

This is a story from February, but I'd missed blogging it at the time
