Stuart Lustigman, the chairman of the Maccabi Masters League, has described the Muamba incident as "a real wake-up call" to Sunday morning footballers.

Lustigman this week emailed all clubs in the over-35's league, advising them to ensure they have someone qualified on hand to deal with similar incidents.

He said: "Hopefully some good has to come from adversity and we're calling for people to be educated. The response has been good so far.

"The fact that it happened in such a high-profile match made people sit up and take notice, but at amateur level it probably happens more than we realise."
