ESPN Commentator and former T&T footballer Shaka Hislop collapsed live on television while covering a match between Real Madrid and AC Milan in California.

He was speaking alongside co-presenter Dan Thomas when he stumbled backwards, then falling face forwards on the ground.

Thomas and other crew members rushed to assist, and called for more help.

Later on, ESPN later tweeted to say Shaka was “conscious and talking” and had been tended to by medics.

Thomas also said on air subsequently that he was okay and was “embarrassed about it all” and “apologized profusely”.

He said they spoke to his wife and “things are looking okay”, adding that “Shaka, looks like you’ll be alright”.
