Burnley Football Club would like to send our best wishes to Eddie Wolstenholme, following an emergency incident at Turf Moor.

The former top-flight referee, a well-known figure in East Lancashire, was operating as a referee’s coach during the Premier League game v Newcastle.

Eddie collapsed in the tunnel ahead of kick off and, after treatment by paramedics, was taken to hospital.

Everyone connected with the football club wishes Eddie a speedy recovery.
