Antonio (M) with the paramedics
West Ham forward Michail Antonio has personally shown his appreciation to the men who helped save his life.
The Jamaican suffered a serious car accident in December 2024, which left him hospitalized with a broken leg. He has since returned to action after spending several months in recovery.
Antonio made an emotional return to the London Stadium as West Ham faced Newcastle United on Monday, March 11, 2025.
Now, the Hammers’ record Premier League goalscorer has met with the two first responders, Rob Moon and Dr. James Moloney, on the BBC’s Morning Live show to express his gratitude.
“I want to say thank you because I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for you guys. You guys are basically my heroes,” he said.
However, he revealed that he would need time to move past the accident.
“Being involved in a major accident can have life-changing physical and mental effects. I’ve processed it to a certain degree, but I think the emotions are going to take a long time. Mentally, trauma lasts a long time,” he added.
