SEPP BLATTER CLAIMS HE ALMOST DIED AFTER RECENT COLLAPSE

Date:

SUSPENDED FIFA president Sepp Blatter has revealed he was close to dying during a health scare earlier this month.

The 79-year-old spent six days in hospital after fainting while visiting his parents’ grave with familymembers.

He said: “I was between the angels who were singing and the devil who was lighting the fire, but it was the angels who sang.”

Blatter claims the collapse was brought on by the stress of the ongoing FIFA corruption scandal.

“I was close to dying,” he said. “At some stage the body says ‘no, enough is enough’.”

Blatter has been provisionally suspended by FIFA , accused of making a “disloyal” £1.35m payment to UEFA president Michel Platini in 2011.

Platini, who is also serving a 90-day suspension, claims the deal was part of an “oral contract” for work done from 1998-2002.
