Rumours were swirling earlier that Liverpool legend “Super Sub” David Fairclough has been admitted to hospital after suffering a heart attack. Unfortunately it looks like the rumours were true however thankfully David’s condition was described as mild and looks like he should be released from hospital on Wednesday.
Here are the Tweets from Jimmy Rice, Jim Boardman and the official LFC Twitter.

Just spoke to .tv commentator Steve Hunter. He’s spoken to David Fairclough and he’s doing alright. Mild heart scare but keeping chin up.

I grew up with David as a true hero. He was an inspiration. He earned his nickname because he made the best of every chance he had, no matter how late in the game that may be. Get well soon super sub xx
good luck super-sub get well soon

I hope it’s only rumor but anyway i wish him all the best. I’m reading The Liverpool Scout Twentimen and two hours ago I read the chapter about Fairclough. He’s too young to have heart problems.
“SUPER SUB” get well mate, glad to hear it isn’t as bad as most of us thought and we all wish the family well aswell. I just hope it wasn’t brought on after checking the fulltime score today lol, but seriously your an Anfield legend keep safe and well from all of the Liverpool fans……YNWA
Get well soon super sub, we could do with you now
A real life boyhood hero. Get well soon David.
Evertonian here.
Sorry to hear the news, I remember David Fairclough presenting some medals to me as a kid and he was sound. Despite my Uncle’s best efforts and much to my Dad’s relief I was never pursuaded to join you lot as Fairclough, Keegan, Dalglish et al just never lived up to my hero, Big Bad Bob Latchford.
Nevertheless, I remember listening to the Etienne game on the radio as a kid and have fond memories of Fairclough as a local born player. As such, I would just like to extend my thoughts to David and hope that he makes a swift and full recovery.
Get well soon David.
No he isn’t too young to have heart problems. I was in the same Liverpool Schoolboys team as David and I’m 53.
Get well soon Dave

Worked with Davey at Norwich Union Salford Quays in the early 90’s, had the pleasure of playing along side him in a Rep match. As a Blue we had a few funny chats in the office, speedy recovery Dave and take care mate.
