The singer, 77, feared this his young son had suffered a heart attack after he was rushed away from his Young Hoops Under 12s team game in the back of an ambulance.

Rod said that Aiden “wanted to do well” and had “pulled on the Hoops in Scotland for his dad”.
That wasn’t the only ambulance incident Rod witnessed at the football though, as he revealed that another young lad had fallen backwards and banged his head.
Rod, who is married to Loose Women’s Penny Lancaster, said: “In all of my days watching football, that’s the only time two ambulances had been called.”
