Di Stefano is considered, espcecially by me, to be one of the most undervalued great footballers in the history of the game. This man, along with Puskus, is in my Top 5.

Its sad to hear he has suffered this heart attack, but we hear that he is now stable."Alfredo Di Stefano was admitted to the hospital at 1245 GMT complaining of pains in his chest and tests have revealed that he had suffered an acute heart attack," doctor Victoria de la Cueva said.

"He is in the intensive care unit at the moment. His condition has improved and he is conscious. He is aware of what is going on, is stable and breathing well on his own."

Medics said the next 48 hours would be very important for Di Stefano but added that he was conscious and lucid.

One of the best players ever. Shocking news to hear that another of the footballing greats could be taken from us.

He had a great scoring record and was part of one of the best teams ever.

You'll Never Walk Alone.

Latest news: He is to undergo a heart bypass operation.

A hospital spokesman said on Monday: "It is a complex case because he is a diabetic and is 79 years old, but despite that I'm optimistic and I think there is a good possibility of him making a recovery.

"He is conscious, aware of what is going on and doesn't need any artificial respiration. He is a strong man and it is clear that he has a great deal of inner belief."

Haven't heard any new news regarding his health so I assume he is doing well and on the mend.

Haven't heard any new news regarding his health so I assume he is doing well and on the mend.He underwent a quadruple heart bypass, but now seems to be on the mend as you say.

A statement from Valencia's La Fe hospital on Thursday said di Stefano was talking and eating a day after the seven-hour operation.
