Kinnear suffered a heart attack 10 years ago.

Joe Kinnear: "I woke up on Saturday at 5.30am feeling unwell, so our club doctor checked my blood pressure, and it was high.

"We left it for a while, and then decided to go up to the hospital. They decided to keep me in after speaking to a specialist.

"They have done some tests and we will get some more results today.

"A cardiologist is going to have a look at me, and then I hope to be allowed to head home tomorrow morning.

"I feel A-OK, and hopefully I will be back at work soon. I'm fighting fit, and with a bit of a break before the next game, I hope to be back for the Everton match for normal service.

"The lads were terrific, and it was a great result for us.

"A lot of people say West Brom defended badly, but that's sour grapes from my point of view.

"We put in a great performance and showed we can attack teams with some of the players we have here.

"I have watched through the highlights a few times now and I'm proud of the lads.

"We scored three goals and I was pleased with Kevin Nolan and Ryan Taylor, not to mention Peter Lovenkrands.

"I was also delighted to see such camaraderie in the team, and pleased to see that the whole squad showed their appreciation to the fans at the end."
