It didn’t take long for them to move him inside the locker room, where he was immediately treated by the doctors. The diagnosis would not take long to arrive: fracture of the fibula.
But the medical work did not stop there, as several spectators also had to be treated, affected by the shock of seeing the injury, and one of them even suffered a heart attack. “Nine people fainted and another suffered a heart attack. They couldn’t find enough ambulances to send people to the hospital,” Pantahinaikos coach Ergin Ataman would later declare.
