Sam Hammam is certain Joe Kinnear's heart scare won't deter him from jumping back into the Wimbledon managerial hot-seat as soon as his health allows. Kinnear will help pick Wimbledon's team for today's clash with Leicester from his hospital bed in Sheffield. Coaches David Kemp and Mick Harford have taken over training duties and will be on the touchline without the charismatic manager, but Kinnear, who is in a stable condition, is still having his say over the phone. The heart attack has shocked everyone at Wimbledon but Hammam said: "Joe is not going to start growing vegetables and cauliflowers in the garden or sit in Barbados reading a book. He can't do either. He might be officially married to Bonnie but as far as I'm concerned he's like a bigamist. He's married to football. Football is his life. "He will participate in football while his body allows him. Even when he's 65 he won't be happy being a television pundit. He needs to be in the action. That's his very existence. He can't talk about anything other than football."
