I was just running down the corridor, telling people, &#8216;there&#8217;s a guy with a knife, run, I&#8217;ve been stabbed, run, run, run&#8217;. I was screaming. I think I was the first person that got stabbed. I felt the pain. But adrenaline kicked in.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;That split second, me jumping over the table, saved me. All I thought about was just running for my life, getting off that train. As I got down to the first or second carriage, I pulled the alarm, and was just drenched with blood.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;I was thinking I wasn&#8217;t going to see my family again, if I died, and that was the main worry for me&#8221;, he says. &#8220;Normally I would drive back down to London. That was the first time I got on a train to go back. What&#8217;s the chance of that happening? It&#8217;s crazy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The train made an emergency stop at Huntingdon where it was met by armed police. Having been given first aid by a fellow passenger, Gjoshe managed to get himself out to the station car park, from where paramedics rushed him to hospital.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">It was only after surgery that he learned he had sustained seven wounds to his bicep, shoulder and arm.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The knife, he was told by the medics, &#8220;had gone through my muscles&#8221; coming fractionally close to hitting a nerve in his arm. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">When asked if he feared his footballing career could be over, he says, &#8220;I was very worried. Just thinking, &#8216;what damage has happened to me?&#8217; I didn&#8217;t have a clue until I had the surgery. They said, &#8216;It&#8217;s not much from the nerve. You&#8217;re very lucky&#8217;.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">In the days that followed, Gjoshe recalls: &#8220;They had to move me from ward to ward because of the media that were coming there looking for me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Having been released from hospital, Gjoshe faced several months of rehab, only returning to full training in March, something he describes as &#8220;a big relief. I started to get the movement of my arm, day by day it was getting better. It was an amazing feeling&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Despite handling what he has been through with impressive stoicism, Gjoshe has not been on a train since the mass stabbing. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;I wouldn&#8217;t want to now. You just never know. It&#8217;s best to be safe. I just can&#8217;t trust anything now&#8221;, he says.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/sport\/football\/articles\/cp8py1n500lo?at_medium=RSS&#038;at_campaign=rss\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;I got stabbed on the shoulder first&#8221;, he tells BBC Sport. &#8220;I remember jumping over the table, jumping over the chairs.
