A brief synopsis of the events today at Vitality Stadium after Luton Town stalwart Tom Lockyer was taken off the pitch due to suffering a cardiac arrest, one which naturally led to the suspension of the Bournemouth vs Luton clash.
Luton have confirmed that Tom was responsive by the time he left the pitch. He received further treatment at the stadium.
He is currently undergoing further tests at hospital with family at his bedside. He is in a stable condition.

Our thoughts are with Tom Lockyer and everyone connected with Luton Town Football Club.
Just announced by Peter Drury on NBC here in the US that Tom Lockyer did suffer a cardiac arrest. Hope he makes a full recovery and thoughts with him and his family as well as Luton Town and their players and fans.
This is the second time he collapsed this year.I would be surprised if he continues this season for Luton Town.
Life first, I feel both clubs should just plead for a 1.1 draw. Was a very heartfelt moment watching the players and staff from both clubs clap the fans in the end. Best wishes to Tom and luton town.
Amazing human response from everyone 👏 amazing support hope he gets better soon
P.s what happens to the fixture also what happens for tickets and trains etc for refunds and people have work how do they get to come to next match?? Any comments appreciated 😮
Wishing Tom, his family and the entire Luton Town team well. Hate to see anything like this happen but great response from medical on both sides.
get well soon tom I heard its the 2nd time its happened to him
Glad he’s stable and getting looked after. ❤
This is more important than the football. Glad he is stable and in the best place.
❤
Has to be the right thing to do. All the best to Tom. Nothing is more important than your health. Health is wealth etc, BHAFC.
🐝💤 fans hope he’s ok ….. always a rock to Luton …. 🤞🏼
He also collapsed in 27 May 2023 (6 months ago), during Championship' play off. Luton playing with fire and Tom toying with his own life for not considering retirement. For example, Manchester United closely monitoring Eriksen condition everyday. From the player view point, Sergio Aguero decide to end his footballer career when he still have like 2~4 years.
Bournemouth as a club, players and fans, were class today. All Hatters fans thank and respect you for that.
Best wishes to Locks, we're all with you 🧡
Wishing Tom Lockyer all the best for a speedy recovery mate because that was bloody horrifying considering he collapsed in the playoff final aswell 😞
These fukin vaccines are getting all the athletes 😢
What happens to the result or fixture as need to let my work know????? Someone comment
This is why supporters from other clubs love Bournemouth. Quality supporters.
Shocking news – so sad. He's a wonderful player. My thoughts are with his family and the fans – respect from AVFC
Class from you guys today, from the Players, medical team and fans. Appreciate that 👏
Get well soon Tommy 🧡🎩
Wishing Tom all the best. Huge respect for support and understanding from all Bournemouth fans today. Really uplifting.
Question from a neutral- does anyone else think this smacks a bit of medical negligence? In the previous 8 months he’s suffered a cardiac arrest, had heart surgery, and professional medicals think he’s ok to put his body under the same strain again? Seems like it was half inevitable to me, should have called it a day after the play off final. Wishing the speediest recovery to Tom and thoughts with his family and the Luton fans from LUFC
Best of luck in your recovery Tom.
Our hearts go out to Tom, his family and all Luton fans. The football family is just that – family. Get well soon Tom! 🙏🏻
From all man City fans hope Tom is ok, fans From both clubs today can be proud of yourself for all your fantastic support in that awful situation
Let’s hoe Tom makes full recovery from all afc Bournemouth fans
Well done every body at vitality today the response for Tom Lockyer was first class.God bless you Tom Lockyer and your family and friends and of course Luton and their supporters.So glad to hear that he is responding.From cherries supporter.
As a everton support big up to Bournemouth classy club my thought go out two tom and Luton the right thing was done today 👍 👏
Bournemouth fans total class, showed such respect
The football is irrelevant today. Respect to Phil Bill who noticed immediately how serious it was and was calling for the medics straight away. Huge respect to both medical teams, they were amazing. Love to all our friends from Luton, proper club & great fans. Not how we wanted the TinpotDerby to go. Wishing Tom a full and speedy recovery. Thoughts with him & his loved ones.
thank the lord for the experimental jabs 👍🐑oh no it won’t be that will it ??was it climate change??strange how excess deaths have risen 300% since 2021 ?I wander what was rolled out then ,,deny all you want ,I person know 7 dead after these jabs and 2 in the last 3 week with heart probs ,,explain why us 23m unjabbed are fine yet the only ones sick took the experiment 🧪,,I will wait 🐑arteta out 💯
Wish Tom Lockyer a speedy recovery. Both sets of fans pure class. We unite as one. Health is more important than anything. Well done to all medical teams.
Good luck to Tom and is family get well soon from a Watford supporter
Thank you Bournemouth fc you and the fans were brilliant relating to Tom
Luton Fan and subscriber. Such a sad moment for Locks and the whole squad. Thoughts and prayers to him and his family The highest respect goes to your team and your fans. Although we are foes on the pitch , the care shown for a fellow footballer are who all fans should be #prayforlocks #COYH # Upthecherries 🙏⚽️
Luton fan here, you are all a credit to your club fantastic human beings every last one of you. From Phillip Billing, to your manager to all your fans thanks for your support and care today❤
I was at the game as a Bournemouth fan all fans were excellent today ! That is what football is all about the togetherness UTC🍒
Jeez it was odd looking in at 3am in Sydney. i felt for the spectators (who the camera was scanning around) but mostly for the player, his family and the coach who seemed to be caring. Good that the medical people were on hand.
What happens when a match is "Abandoned"? Will they play the rest of the match eventually?
Wat a club bournemouth r .welldone to all involved.coyh
Everton fans are thought prayers with Tom Lockyer & family & Luton town FC …
Hail, Mary, full of grace,
the Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou amongst women
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
Just shows the poor quality of the medical professionals who gave him the “all clear” after the exact same thing happened to him just a few months ago Ffs
Great work by surrounding players and medics with quick reactions. Hope Toms ok, wish him all the best.
Scary these incidents have become far too common now with no real investigation or questions being asked.
Luton fan here would just like to say a big Thank You to everyone at Bournemouth the Doctors, Paramedics, Staff, Players and ur fans everyone associated at Bournemouth and a big short out go out to Billing and Dom I was there it wasn’t a nice think to witness the most important thing that he’s ok Thanks u guys GET WELL SOON TOMMY 😔🙏🏻
🍒🧡
