If anyone has spare time have a listen to the Monday Night Club from Monday on BBC sounds.

Tom Lockyer on the programme and is a great listen.

Thought this was well known.

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)

My dad played for Luton town during second world war, so always my second team...it shows that he was lucky that he collapsed during a match, otherwise he would not have made it. Think only 1 in 10 survive or in house or the street.

As someone who suffered both a heart attack and cardiac arrest at home last April you are sadly correct but the number is actually less than 1 in 10, a fact which I found out after the event which totally shocked me and made me realise anew how lucky I am.

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 reading

Thanks for sharing. Glad you are around to tell the tale.

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

The device he's been fitted with is quite incredible

Could you post the link for it please. My dad was also one of the lucky ones and got one of these fitted.

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

It was well known but I must admit I'd also forgotten the name so think it was a fair question.

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.

Obviously not, as I've not heard of him either.

Wow absolutely the best place for that to have happened. Hope he is well

[Cuikyhibs]

Think he has come across really well in all of his recent interviews, wish him the best for the future
