Commentator Ilie Dobre (72 years old) underwent emergency surgery at the Capital Military Hospital, after suffering a pre-infarction. The radio man will spend the holidays in the hospital.
The commentator claims that he was close to death, but is now out of danger. Doctors fitted him with two stents and are currently monitoring him closely.
“My main artery in my heart is 99% blocked. I had a pre-infarction, escaping as if by miracle. I had two stents put in. I am still in the Military Hospital. If I was one more day late, nothing could be done“, stated Ilie Dobre, for fanatik.ro.
Dobre is included in the Book of Records. He is the first Romanian to set 10 approved world records. At the same time, Ilie entered the Book of Records for the direct radio broadcast of a goal without breathing (35 seconds and 6 tenths) and for the direct radio broadcast of a goal with a single breath (1 minute and 8 seconds).
