‘West Brom songs helped bring me out of coronavirus coma’
A lifelong West Bromwich Albion fan has told ý Radio 5 Live how music related to the club, and messages from players were played to him whilst he was in a coma after contracting coronavirus.
Peter George was unresponsive in intensive care after contracting Covid-19 when his wife Theresa came up with the idea of playing music associated with the team, such as The Lord is my Shepherd, Faithless and The Liquidator.
Speaking to 5 Live presenter (and fellow Albion fan) Adrian Chiles, Theresa said her husband’s leg "started kicking” when he heard the music and he “tried to get out of bed to dance” after a couple of days hearing the messages from players.
