Glenn Hoddle has returned as a pundit on BT Sport for the first time since suffering a heart attack in October.
Hoddle collapsed after a live television broadcast on his 61st birthday, and had to be rushed to hospital for lifesaving surgery.
He was in intensive care for a period before being discharged to continue his recovery at home.
The 61-year-old had revealed how his heart had stopped for 60 seconds and engineer Simon Daniels brought him back to life.
The former England international was back in the studio for Chelsea’s Europa League clash with Dynamo Kiev.
“Without a shadow of a doubt I’m a very lucky man but it’s great to be back working with you guys,” he said as he was introduced in the pre-match coverage on BT Sport by presenter Jake Humphrey and fellow pundit Owen Hargreaves.
“I’ve been watching a lot of football and you on the telly, but it’s lovely to be here.
