Standing closer to the halfway line than the penalty area, Petrov must have been at least 45 yards out. “You want your kids to remember you sometimes for where you’ve played, what you’ve achieved and goals they’ve seen. Every time when they google my name, the first thing that comes up is ‘survived cancer’. “And kids do have memories.”Even now, when Petrov looks, sounds and feels so well, there is a backdrop that is easily overlooked. My thinking is positive and I’m going forward.
