He's the captain of Luton Town. Has collapsed twice while on the pitch. Most recently just before Christmas.

I listened to it, very moving.
I feel peculiarly attached to him because in my brief stage of playing FIFA career mode he was my captain at Bristol rovers, took them to the top level and European qualification, he was head and shoulders above his teammates (which is why hes ended up in the Premiership in real life, clearly)

Before that event, I didn't realise that Heart Attack and Cardiac Arrest were actually two different things with the latter by far the more serious.
Can I make a plea to those reading?
The British Heart Foundation do a 15 minutes online training that will show you how to do CPR and use a defibrillator.
The fact that my wife knew how to do CPR undoubtedly saved my life, but this was helped by the fact that we live 5 minutes from an ambulance station and they got there quicky and were able to shock me back to life (it took 3 goes)
Please try and find the 15 minutes to do this training, having done so you will be able to send a link on to your contacts to enable them to do so. Its a really powerful thing having the power to save a life within your hands and without my wife I simply wouldn't be here.
Thanks for readingLast edited by BSEJVT; 22-02-2024 at 02:33 PM.

To make it a little easier for others, I presume this is the training you refer to.

My dad was at the hospital, acting out being a patient to help doctors go through their exams, when he collapsed for real. He wouldn't be here if it didn't happen where it did.
But the defib devices are unreal. They upload to an nhs server every night and he will be contacted if maybe something has been detected and he's not noticed

You can actually watch it on the iPlayer if you prefer to see the people talking. He came across very well, very positive and good humoured given the seriousness of the situation. He now has a device fitted which essentially acts like a defibrillator and kicks in automatically if his heart stops. He was joking about now being invincible, even if he 'dies' in his sleep from natural causes as an old man, the device will kick in and get his heart started again.
