BEN ON THE MEND AFTER HEART SCARE

BURY TOWN boss Ben Chenery is back home and resting after suffering a suspected heart attack.

The former Luton Town and Canvey Island defender, 41, was rushed to Papworth Hospital, Cambridge this week with an inflammation of the heart.

Chenery, who has taken the Blues into Bostik North play-off contention this season, is under doctor’s orders to take things easy, although the diagnosis was not thought to be serious.

“It just came from nowhere,” Chenery told the East Anglian Daily Times. “I suppose lots of people of my age group rush around a great deal in our busy lives. Football management is also stressful and unless you are a football manager yourself, it’s difficult to understand.

“As football managers we dwell on things, even if we win we are straightaway thinking of the next game. If we lose you are always looking at what went wrong.

“It’s constant and that’s the job. I do love it. But obviously this has made me sit back a bit and take stock.

“I’m having a good rest right now, not something I’m good at, but it’s the right thing to do and I’m feeling much better.

“I have a good family around me and it’s important I take things easy.”

Bury chairman Russell Ward added: “It was obviously a great shock for us all at Bury when the news broke.

“We just want Ben to get himself fully fit, that’s the most important thing. We have an experienced team of coaches and players who are doing a terrific job with Ben not about.”
