Cowdrey on road to recovery after scare

Former England, Kent and Glamorgan all-rounder Chris Cowdrey is recovering from surgery after suffering a heart attack last week. The 53-year-old, son of he legendary Colin, suffered the heart attack while in hospital for stitches in a knee injury. "People always said I was lucky player - well if you're going to have a heart attack anywhere, then the middle of a hospital is probably it," said Cowdrey. "I only went there to have three stitches in my knee. I suppose this is all about doing too much of what I shouldn't have been doing and not enough of what I should have been doing for the last 30 years. "I hate letting people down, pulling out of dinners and speaking engagements is not my style but I hope everyone will understand that my priority is getting back to full health and that I have to take it easy."
