Just seen the headlines and footage of Christian Erikson collapsing to the turf again.
Absolutely horrific to happen once but twice to the same player is really unfathomable.
Hope he recovers and makes the decision to retire for the sake of his health and his family. ?.
{Ed078's Note - sounds like the implanted heart starter (cardioverter-defibrillator) did its job.

All the best, Christian. Retire now, son, you have nothing left to prove, just enjoy your family.

It did Ed, thankfully not a serious as last time as he was able to walk off the pitch this time around.

Ed it certainly did. An incredible price off equipment.
Without mine I would be long gone
Agree irvger and Foolmonty time to step done.

Would rather have an ICD than a full defibrillator; it's like you've been booted by a horse in the chest n ribs. But worth it I guess.

I see today he's been told to retire and concentrate on coaching.

John, I didn't realise you had one! I bet it's kicked in a few times with some of the posts on this site. ?
