Rugby league immortal Andrew Johns is undergoing treatment from neurology specialists after being floored by a series of brain seizures.

The Origin and Kangaroos legend collapsed in a north coast coffee shop on Friday in the latest episode of a health battle he has been privately dealing with for several years.

The 44-year-old had been enjoying the Christmas break with his partner Kate Kendall and their four-month-old daughter Alice at Yamba, a popular holiday surfing town.

f**kwit of the highest order...but I hope he beats this and gets well soon.

Bit unfair for the guy. He's probably had it in some form for a while, but he's cleaned up his health and then this happens.

Hope he is ok.

As much as he is despised by some etc etc it is something you never want to read bout somone that has kids and is only in their forties. Get well soon Joey.

Rugby league immortal... I've never heard of the f**ker until now.

 

[magpie4ever]

Sad news for anyone but you would believe that he has tried to shove 100 years of living into his 44.

Doubts it has anything to do with his playing career, except the additional substances he took during & after it.

No one on this earth is immortal.

If you want a real step back in time head across the Clarence river to Iluka and go the Sedgers Reef Hotel, the place hasnt changed since I first went there back in the 80s.

Probably the best Apex that's ever graced a Topball field. Wish him all the best in his ongoing battles...

Probably got seizures from all that inventing of the ‘round the corner’ goal kicking technique....
