Former Real Madrid and Everton winger Royston Drenthe is in hospital after suffering a stroke. The 38-year-old ex-Netherlands international was admitted to hospital on Friday. The news was announced by FC de Rebellen, an agency which represents former footballers including Drenthe. A statement read: "Last Friday, Royston Drenthe suffered a stroke. "Drenthe is currently receiving good care and is in good hands. The team and those involved hope for a speedy recovery."
When Chris Wilder had a massive stroke four years ago, doctors told his wife that he might not survive and if he did, he might not ever walk or talk again. The former Valley Health Foundation executive director, then 53, had been rushed from his home in the Santa Cruz Mountains to Good Samaritan Hospital after Kate Wilder noticed her husband's face slump a sign of a stroke.
