Over the weekend, in Denmark's opening game, football player Christian Eriksen suffered a sudden cardiac arrest on the pitch.

When speaking about Eriksen in a later interview, Denmark's team doctor, Morten Boesen said that "he was gone" before adding "we got him back after one defib."

It's so important that everyone knows what to do if ever faced with the same situation. Please watch this short video about using an AED bit.ly/DefibsSaveLives?fbcl...

From all of us at Arrhythmia Alliance, AF Association and STARS, we wish Christian Eriksen well with his recovery.

Thanks Tracy. There is one about 75yds from where I live and wouldn’t know how to use it so will watch this with interest. A vital piece of equipment but one I hope I’ll never have the need to use. xxx
