“Can I still play rugby?”
Tommy Freeman had just signed for Northampton Saints
when he had a full tonic-clonic seizure.
He stopped breathing.
His lips turned blue.
He woke up in an ambulance — scared, disoriented, and uncertain if his dream of professional rugby was over.
“It was probably the hardest thing I’ve ever experienced.”
He couldn’t drive. Couldn’t go to the shop alone. Even having a bath felt risky.
He lost his freedom and, for a while, his confidence too.
But Tommy found support. With help from his family, doctors, and the epilepsy community, he began to rebuild.
