Heart attack fan imposes game ban

Walkers Stadium
Leicester are currently three places above the relegation zone

A Leicester City supporter has banned himself from watching his team's matches for fear of suffering another heart attack.

Lifelong Foxes supporter Lee Weston collapsed as he celebrated a goal against Crystal Palace at his Eyres Monsell home earlier in the season.

Doctors have told Mr Weston to avoid getting too excited.

The father of four now says he will not watch his side as they fight to avoid relegation from the Championship.

He said he listened to the side's 1-0 win against Scunthorpe in short bursts on the radio on Saturday.

"The doctors said not to get too excited about it. I would not trust myself unless my wife is there with me.

"I've got four children and I won't jeopardise my family life for the sake of watching football. I don't think any man would," Mr Weston said.
