Fabrice Muamba recalls his recovery a miracle after the Bolton midfielder collapsed on the field during a match, having a cardiac arrest. The 24-year-old is well now and says he has no pain whatsoever.

He tells the Sun newspaper that about what he felt:
"For 78 minutes I was dead and, even if I lived, was expected to have suffered brain damage," Muamba said. "But I'm very much alive and sitting here talking now. Someone up there was watching over me."

Muamba collapsed on the field 41 minutes into the match at White Hart Lane.

"I felt very slightly dizzy. It wasn't normal dizziness -- it was a kind of surreal feeling, like I was running along inside someone else's body," Muamba said. "I had no pain whatsoever. No clutching at my chest or tightness like you see when people have heart attacks in movies. Just an odd feeling that's impossible to explain. Then I started to see double. It was almost like a dream.

"I could see Spurs players running around in the distance and saw two Scott Parkers and two Luka Modrics. That was when I realized something was seriously wrong."

Muamba is now at home with his fiancee and three-year-old son recovering. He still doesn't know whether he would return playing soccer again, but he's just happy to be alive and well now.

"It would be great to play football again and I hope that will happen," Muamba said. "But it's even greater just to live life and love my family. I'm a lucky man."
