EDDIE HOWE has broken his silence on his pneumonia nightmare.
The Newcastle United gaffer was struck down by the lung infection earlier this month and felt unwell for several days.
He was eventually admitted to the hospital where it was discovered the infection was wreaking havoc on his body.
Howe, however, has thankfully made a full recovery and is now back at work.
The 47-year-old said of his ordeal: “I felt really bad, but I didn't know how bad.
I'm one of those people, probably like most, most men, that you sort of go through everything.
“You don't necessarily then offer yourself to doctors and people because you think I'll be okay in a couple of days and I'll fight through it.
“I'm sort of very much in the mindset of that I'll go through anything until you can't.
“So I was very thankful that the doctor here, Paul Catterson, acted quickly because without that quick intervention, then possibly it could have had a different outcome.
“Then I was treated really well in hospital and thankfully now through the worst of it.”
THIS IS A DEVELOPING STORY..
