Ex-England and Tottenham star Andy Sinton, 59, reveals he is home and 'recovering well' after heart attack as QPR ambassador thanks fans and medical staff for support

Former England and Tottenham star Andy Sinton has revealed he is back home and 'recovering well' after suffering a heart attack last week.

The ex-winger posted an update on X on Monday to thank fans, family and medical staff for their support.

Sinton wrote: 'I am now home and recovering well. Forever grateful to all the medical team that cared for me along with my amazing family. 

'Thank you for all the messages of support which gave me strength when I needed it most. I look forward to seeing you all soon. Sints.'

The 59-year-old's former club QPR, who he now represents as an ambassador, asked for supporters to wish Sinton well.

QPR issued a statement which read: 'On Friday evening, our club ambassador, Andy Sinton suffered a heart attack. We are pleased to say he is now recovering in hospital. Please join us in wishing Sints well.'

Sinton was capped 12 times by England between 1991 and 1993 and was part of the Three Lions' squad at Euro 1992.

He won the League Cup with Tottenham in the 1998-99 season and made 100 appearances for the club. 

Sinton also featured prominently for QPR between 1998 and 1993 before signing for Sheffield Wednesday. 

He later had a spell at Wolves and then represented Burton Albion.

Sinton returned to QPR in May 2015 as the club's first club ambassador. His job includes attending games and fan events as well as working with commercial partners.

In 2016 he helped to create 'Forever Rs', the club's association for former players.
