| Great to be back: Bobby Don is now raring to go for the rest of the season. |
A cricketer whose life was saved by a 33-pint blood transfusion has played his first game in almost a year.
Bobby Don of Churchill Avenue, Halstead, cheated death last July and is lucky to be alive let alone back at the crease playing the sport he loves.
Mr Don was rushed to the Royal London Hospital in Whitechapel last year when he started bleeding heavily.
He had a 33-pint blood transfusion and doctors told him he was two minutes from death as a result of a common abdominal condition which rarely develops into a problem.
On Saturday the former Ramsey College student, who is now fighting fit, turned out in his first match for Halstead Cricket Club.
