The 62-year-old, nicknamed Psycho, said yesterday: “My heart was racing a little bit.

“The medical staff on the plane were magnificent and they made the decision after three hours to drop me off in St John’s in Newfoundland.

“The hospital staff there basically stopped my heart and restarted it again to put it back into a normal rhythm.”;

He told Flying Ezeday Times: “I had five days there and another five days in a hotel waiting for the medical care, so an extra ten day’s holiday.

“They think it was caused by a virus.”;

The Three Lions ace had been travelling back from Las Vegas on March 2 after watching his beloved rugby league team Warrington Wolves play Wigan Warriors.

After finally returning to the UK, the TalkSport pundit told the station: “I went to meet my maker last week . . . but he said your time’s not up big fella and sent me away.

“But in all seriousness, I’m in good form.

“On the flight I had chest pains but I was looked after fantastically.”;

The former left-back has made a full recovery and was commentating for England’s 2-0 win over Albania last Friday.
