Teen footie ace suffers heart attacks on hol

A PROMISING footballer is fighting for his life after suffering a series of heart attacks when he jumped into a swimming pool.
Jordan Burndred, 17, was seen clutching his chest moments after leaping into the water at a Turkish hotel.
The teenager, from Staffordshire, who plays for Leek Town under 18s, was able to reach the side of the pool but suffered further cardiac arrests and had to be resuscitated.
He is now on a life-support machine at a Marmaris hospital surrounded by his family.

Jordan is a promising footballer

His mum Nicola posted on Facebook: “Thank you so much to all back home for all your support. I just wish this nightmare would be over.
“He is still sedated and won’t wake himself until they stop this, but their advice is to keep him like this to give his heart a better chance of fighting.
“My son is a fighter but all your well wishes and prayers have kept us going.
“The staff at the hospital have been awesome and worked around the clock to get Jordan to the point he is at now. He’s in the best place right now until he is strong enough to get him home.”

With mum Nicola Newsteam

Jordan was on holiday with his mum Nicola Everill, stepdad Danny Everill, sisters Jasmin, 19, and Daisy, three, as well as his uncle and grandparents.
A fundraising page set up to assist the family’s accommodation costs has so far raised £5,000.
