Fabrice Muamba makes an emotional return to Bolton
“This is a special place: the support has been overwhelming and I am just grateful for that,” Muamba said. “I am OK. I am getting stronger every day. I am happy to be back I am just happy to be able to speak to people again and walk freely.
“I am very happy and very excited for today’s game and I am happy that I came today.”
Football clubs around the world made gestures of support for Muamba and the former England under-21 international said he had been touched by messages from fans.
“It helps me every single day. I still have six or seven boxes of cards to go through and I am grateful for that. It stays in my mind every single day,” Muamba told Sky Sports News. “Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank your for your support, the whole country has been overwhelming and I am grateful I can walk again and do things normally again.”
