talkSPORT's Alan Brazil's heart stopped during life-saving liver transplant surgery
Brazil says he is improving steadily after an eight-hour transplant that briefly stopped his heart, and he hopes to return to talkSPORT in a few weeks.
- On Thursday, TalkSport host Alan Brazil returned to air, confirming he is recovering after undergoing a life-saving liver transplant at Addenbrooke Hospital six weeks ago.
- The 66-year-old underwent emergency surgery shortly after finishing his Breakfast show, following ongoing health issues that prompted his family, including Jill, to insist he accept the transplant.
- Brazil's heart briefly stopped during the eight-hour surgery, though he later stated, "I'll be frank, I'm very, very lucky to be here" upon reflecting on his survival.
- Managing fluid retention and sleep issues, Brazil is attending appointments at Ipswich Hospital and in Cambridge while "taking loads of meds" as part of his ongoing recovery protocol.
- Gradually improving, the former Scotland and Ipswich striker targets a return to broadcasting in the coming weeks, declaring he remains "alive and kicking" despite the severity of his ordeal.
