Muamba collapsed during Tottenham’s clash with Bolton in the FA Cup, and his former Arsenal coach praised his spirit.
“He is such a genuine boy, and such a warm boy, with a very good family ethic. He came from such a serious situation in the Congo he got indefinite leave to stay. Then he got his British passport and British citizenship. He was different as a young boy, having come from Africa, but he was prepared to stand apart from the crowd. He had a little bit of gravitas about him. He was not someone who thinks he’s special.”
