Tom Lockyer corrects TNT Sports formation graphic ahead of Arsenal clash

Tom Lockyer was back on TV screens as a pundit as he continues his road to recovery after collapsing earlier this season - and he was quick to correct the panel about Luton's formation

Luton Town defender Tom Lockyer corrected the TNT Sports staff after they showed the Hatters' formation on a graphic.

Lockyer, 29, collapsed during Luton's clash with Bournemouth last December at the Vitality Stadium - his heart stopped for two minutes and 40 seconds before it was restarted by the paramedics in attendance.


The Welshman was fitted with an ICD (implantable cardioverter-defibrillator) and he's now on the road to recovery. Lockyer has been appearing as a pundit in a semi-regular capacity over the past couple of months, and he was back on screens for TNT Sports.

Luton were back in action on Wednesday evening against Arsenal and ahead of kick-off, TNT showed a graphic that suggested Rob Edwards' side would be lining up with a back four - but Lockyer was quick to correct the panel.

Lockyer, instead, believed that Luton would be lining up with a back three of Issa Kabore, Teden Mengi and Daiki Hashioka.

Lockyer's Luton are currently battling to remain in the Premier League next season - and the Welshman will only be looking on from the sidelines after his own survival battle.

"I got a little bit emotional," Lockyer told BBC Radio 5 Live when he returned to the Vitality Stadium in March to meet the medics that were on duty back in December.

"I am quite numb to the whole thing but being back here, I came into the tunnel area and saw the paramedics that saved my life. I recognised them straight away. What do you say in that situation other than 'thank you'? They are heroes and they saved my life."
