AFC Wimbledon midfielder Sam Hutchinson revealed he had a heart attack during the game where his goal later sealed a League Two play-off place.
The 35-year-old has undergone surgery to place a stent in a blocked artery after he fell ill following his side's 1-0 win at Grimsby on May 2.
Hutchinson, whose career began at Chelsea, had a heart attack in the sixth minute but went on to play the full 90 minutes at Blundell Park, scoring the 53rd-minute winner.
It was only on the journey home that his symptoms worsened, leading him to have heart surgery.
