Former France International footballer David Ginola has been rushed to hospital following reports of a cardiac arrest at a stadium in France.
David Ginola, 49, famous for his dazzling Premier League performances for sides includingNewcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur, reportedly suffered a heart attack and has been hospitalised in Monaco.
Reports from France suggest Ginola is unconscious but in stable condition after falling ill at the football stadium of Mandelieu.
He has been transferred to the Hospital Princess Grace of Monaco.
The former football star later tweeted to say he was in hospital having tests done, even adding a little humour.
He said: "Footy match in the midday sun, not very clever. Now having some tests done. Whoever voted for a World Cup in Qatar in the summer?"
