Long term physical demands on the heart must affect some people I guess. 

He must have started proper football in his teenage years and obviously still does so now aged 44. Around 40 years of constant physical activity may put some strain on some people's bodies?

But humans are agrarian? Are we not meant to have physical lives?

I'm sure we are, I'm just saying there could be 5% of us that end up having side affects (i.e. - collapsing) after years of physical activity.

I could well be talking shite but it's just a theory as you do see elite sportspeople suffering this kind of thing from time to time.

I haven't heard of it happening as much outside of football.

It'll probably more likely be disease, who knows how he's lived his life outside of the game or it could just be genes, some people have inherited conditions with the heart that tend to only show up in the middle age when life has take its toll somewhat.

You often find men from all walks of life tend to have ticker trouble in their middle age, although I've usually associated it with around the 50 mark.
