Lockyer described how he initially felt lightheaded while running towards the halfway line before collapsing. Unlike his previous collapse during Luton’s Championship play-off final victory in May, Lockyer said this time felt more severe and disorientating. Despite the terrifying experience, he was revived and is now focused on recovery.

Lockyer has since been reunited with his teammates and is hopeful about returning to football, although he acknowledges that it will depend on further medical assessments.
