Carlton Palmer, a former Sheffield Wednesday and Leeds United star who was pictured with his wife before the race, was admitted to hospital on Sunday after suffering a'small heart attack' while running the Sheffield half-marathon. Palmer (right) - who was raising money for a variety of charities, including Cavendish Cancer Care - complained of heart problems in the first mile before going on to finish the 13-mile course in which his heart rate increased to a frighteningly high 232 bpm. Lucy Kirkby-Palmer, the 57-year-old's husband, completed the course in under two hours, in an amazing two hours, nine minutes, and 21 seconds.
