      George Baldock’s life-saving gesture for young fan with heart condition revealed by mum who salutes ‘our Starman’

      by

      A HEARTBROKEN mum has revealed George Baldock’s incredible impact on her young son. The former Sheffield United star was found dead at his Athens home on Wednesday.Former Sheffield Utd star George Baldock was found dead on WednesdayCredit: RexThe 31-year-old had bought Harvey, a young Blades fan, a defibrillator after learning of his heart conditionCredit: X @Marie_LadyBladeHarvey’s mum Marie paid tribute to the ex-Utd star following his tragic passingCredit: X @Marie_LadyBladeBaldock was discovered in his communal swimming pool after his concerned wife had struggled to get in touch with him from England.The 31-year-old spent the majority of his career playing with United in the Championship and Premier League. One Blades fan took to social media to highlight Baldock’s remarkable efforts in helping her young son, Harvey.X user Marie revealed Harvey was diagnosed with a faulty heart valve, resulting in his Sunday league team being forced to fundraise for a new defibrillator.READ MORE ON FOOTBALLMarie added that Baldock ‘stepped in” and “bought Harvey a defibrillator outright.”Following news of Baldock’s passing, Marie took to social media to pay tribute to the Greek international. She wrote: “[We] thanked him every time we saw him, but feel we haven’t thanked him enough. “George bought Harvey a defib, which helped him continue to play football and the things he enjoys. Most read in Football”He gave us peace of mind as parents on the sideline!”She added with a heartbroken emoji: “Our Starman.”George Baldock’s heartbreaking summer farewell message to Sheffield Utd fans re-emerges after star found dead aged 31Marie accompanied the message with snaps of Baldock alongside Harvey, including at last year’s Player of the Year awards. She continued: “Thank you George. I’m saying it again! You always replied, ‘No problem’ and always asked how Harvey was getting on. “Last time I saw you at (this years POTYA’s) Harvey’s team had just got promoted and Harvey had taken the winning penalty x.”You couldn’t believe how tall he was x”Dominating Mbappe, Premier League Iron Man, promotion hero: A tribute to George BaldockBy Kostas Lianos, Digital Sports ReporterIT was back in 2019 when Greece legend Vasilis Torosidis – the heir to Euro 2004 hero Giourkas Seitaridis – retired from international duty after 101 caps.A giant void was left behind at right-back, many talented players tried to step up – and none of them could fill those big boots.But, soon enough, I started to hear whispers about a Premier League ace with Greek heritage who’s a starter week-in and week-out…That was none other than George Baldock, born in Buckingham on March 9, 1993, to English parents but qualified for Greece through his grandmother.And what a season he was having. The right-back starred for Sheffield United as they surprised the Prem in the 2019-20 campaign – their first in 12 years – by finishing in the top half of the table.Baldock was among their standout players as he registered a staggering 3,420 minutes played – the joint highest along with the likes of Declan Rice and Virgil van Dijk.The defender was keen to make the big step to the international stage with his grandmother’s homeland – and it didn’t take long until he shook hands with the Greek football federation (EPO) chiefs.However, a long and arduous paperwork slog stood in the way – with the then Sheffield United star claiming Covid-19 and Brexit slowed things down.Greece finally got the right-back they were begging for for years as Baldock made his debut on June 2, 2022 in a Nations League clash at Northern Ireland as a late substitute.It didn’t take long until the English-born ace owned the right flank at the back and impressive performances followed.Perhaps none compare to the Euro 2024 qualifier against France in June 2023 when Baldock did the unthinkable and kept Kylian Mbappe quiet for 104 MINUTES, despite being injured and playing through “unimaginable” pain.I still remember speaking to then-Greece manager Gus Poyet about his player’s stunning performance, and I will never forget the big smile the Chelsea legend had on his face.Poyet reminded me of a proud father as he took me through the injury hell the full-back endured before squaring up against perhaps the world’s best player for his country.A beaming Poyet told me: “Against the Republic of Ireland [three days beforehand] – and now that it is finished I can say it – after 20 minutes he had a very bad twist in his ankle, very bad. He was very close to come out. I asked him, ‘Can you hold until half-time?'”At half-time his ankle was very, very swollen. He asked for a strapping and he asked me for five minutes. Give me five minutes and we’ll let you know. And he had an unbelievable second half running up and down and being outstanding.”You don’t imagine the ankle after the game. You don’t imagine the ankle the day after, after the flight to France. Black and blue – swollen. And a day-and-a-half later you need to play against Mbappe.”Ninety per cent of people will think, no chance. And I keep talking to him, individually. And he keeps saying to me, ‘Coach I’m gonna be there no worries’.”And he didn’t play 20 minutes, he didn’t play 60 minutes, he played 104 minutes because the referee gave 14 minutes of injury time against Mbappe.”It’s easy to understand how loyal Baldock was to every team he ever played for during his 15-year career, just by looking at his stats.The Greek ace started his career at MK Dons in 2009 where he amassed a staggering 125 appearances throughout an eight-year stint that also saw him playing on loan for Northampton Town, Tamworth, IBV and Oxford United.The defender joined Sheffield United in 2017 and registered a whopping 219 appearances in seven years that also saw him helping his team achieve two Premier League promotions.Baldock’s work ethic and commitment was no different in Greece as he proudly stated two years ago: “To play for the national side is a great honour and a lot of pride involved for me and my family.”Representing my country through my late grandmother, it’s a very proud moment for me and my family. I love the country and I will fight for every success”Baldock never played for England at any level, but he always competed like a lion and he proved it on Sunday in his last ever match when he started for Panathinaikos, whom he joined in the summer, against eternal rivals Olympiacos in perhaps the most intense derby in Europe.He served his team with honour as he helped them pick up a valuable point in a goalless draw against their in-form foes, who had just played their best game of the season with a 3-0 win over Braga in the Europa League a few days earlier.He only managed 12 caps for Greece before his sudden and tragic death at the age of 31 on Wednesday in Athens.But his fighting spirit and charisma at right-back with the white and blue, as well as his remarkable run in the Premier League and the Championship, show that he is leaving a legacy behind for many Greek and English fans to look up to.Baldock played over 200 times for Sheffield Utd between 2017 and 2024.He left the club over the summer to join Panathinaikos in the Greek Super League. The Blades put out a statement on Wednesday, writing: “Sheffield United Football Club is shocked and extremely saddened to learn of the passing of former player, George Baldock.”The defender left the club in the summer after seven years at Bramall Lane and was extremely popular with supporters, staff and team-mates who pulled on a red and white shirt alongside him.”The sincere condolences of everyone associated with Sheffield United are extended to George’s family and friends.”READ MORE SUN STORIESEngland face Greece on Thursday night in a Nations League clash at Wembley.
