0 -> I would have been three when Daniel was
4.47 -> born it was a yeah was it I take fairly
6.98 -> normal noisy a boisterous household I
10.44 -> was playing in a preseason game actually
12.509 -> felt as good as I'd ever felt physically
15.45 -> I felt really good technically in the
17.76 -> Nets
18.27 -> as good as I felt I first met dummy
21 -> nearly 10 years ago from the very
23.699 -> beginning of our relationship I was
25.74 -> fully aware that Danny's rugby was a
27.63 -> massive part of his life my brother
29.31 -> Daniel was 15 gonna be 16 in the July
32.16 -> and he had just found out that he'd been
34.02 -> signed filiz United it was so special
36.27 -> finding out that we were having twins we
37.92 -> felt so so blessed just doing some light
40.739 -> warm-ups before the game my heart
43.379 -> started going mental in my chest I went
45.57 -> into the bedroom and put the phone up
46.8 -> and it was a phone call that would
50.07 -> change all our lives forever
51.78 -> I went inside and that's when it really
53.399 -> hit me I couldn't couldn't breathe
55.44 -> really shrugging into breathe and that's
56.879 -> where I honestly thought at 10:30 on
59.219 -> April the 6th I was going to die then my
61.35 -> dad was playing football with him in the
62.82 -> garden that as soon as he walked over to
64.379 -> him and he bent down to him he thought
67.14 -> at first he was joking and that he had
68.64 -> gone to get the ball and and he was
70.47 -> pretending to
71.409 -> you know to sleep or something and my
73.81 -> dad said he rolled him over and he knew
75.31 -> straight away that there was nothing
77.35 -> there he'd gone there were a few minutes
79.929 -> into the game and he he just felt DS a
84.069 -> felt like he couldn't he couldn't stay
85.99 -> on the pitch sir which is not like
87.85 -> Donnie never he played 18 minutes every
90.13 -> week regardless my heart was beating
92.2 -> that hard and that loud and that faster
94.929 -> it was echoing the the hole so that
97.689 -> might be surfing my lounge was vibrating
99.459 -> was my heartbeat which was the worst
101.319 -> feeling in the world and the worst sound
102.929 -> and at that stage I reckon it was going
105.399 -> about 260 beats per minute it didn't
107.56 -> make sense didn't make any sense to any
109.929 -> of us that he could have a ticking
112.719 -> time-bomb something inside him that was
114.61 -> going to kill him and none of us could
116.17 -> see any signs
118.25 -> and it was then that obviously had a
120.08 -> massive cardiac arrest no matter how
122.39 -> much CPR they did they couldn't get his
125.51 -> heart to stab him we then found out it
127.52 -> was his heart it was an inherited heart
129.89 -> condition a genetic heart condition so
132.74 -> we were all told
135.34 -> the median family carried the gene and
138.18 -> that actually there's a 50% aberration
140.43 -> that
141.39 -> just
143.15 -> living with the thought of losing
144.56 -> Danny's is horrific but living with the
146.989 -> thought that it could happen again is
149.659 -> even worse
151.44 -> so in that first week in hospital I
154.57 -> eventually got diagnosed with the
157.23 -> parotid heart condition a RVC which was
162.79 -> the worst moment of my life and then he
165.67 -> said if it's any consolation you're very
168.13 -> lucky because 80% of these cases are
170.38 -> found in post mortem and then kind of
173.26 -> stop crying a little bit and I realized
175.72 -> how lucky I was
177.07 -> the only way I can in my head get round
179.77 -> what's happened is that he has died to
181.93 -> save his children because otherwise
183.34 -> Phoebe and Bobby would never have been
185.08 -> tested and they'll have you know they
186.55 -> could have died from it a really young
187.96 -> age
191.62 -> you
