Newcastle United legend David Ginola has again urged more people to learn CPR following Christian Eriksen's cardiac arrest.
The Denmark and Inter Milan midfielder is recovering in hospital after collapsing during his country's Euro 2020 match with Finland on Saturday.
Denmark's team doctor Morten Boesen later confirmed Eriksen was stable having suffered a cardiac arrest and that "he was gone" prior to being resuscitated, with the quick actions of the on-site medical staff vital.
Former French winger Ginola suffered a heart attack in 2016 when playing in a charity match, and says he was 'dead' for nine minutes before his heart was restarted.
The actions of those at the ground saved his life that day, and he has urged more people to become trained in the CPR techniques in order to save more lives.
Speaking to Sky Sports in 2018, Ginola said: "I just collapsed, and I was dead for nine minutes. I didn't feel anything, I was just unconscious, I didn't know what happened.
"I was very lucky to be surrounded by people who knew how to perform CPR, and to keep going and keep irrigating my brain.
"They called the safety people and said 'he has swallowed his tongue, what shall we do?' And they said forget about the tongue because he is dead. You need to concentrate on the heart, and massage the heart.
"Luckily a friend of mine was able to perform CPR - and this what he did for nine minutes.
"After nine minutes the people arrived with a defibrillator. The shocked me once, twice, three times and she said 'your friend is dead'. You can go further than three times but you need authorisation for that.
"They said 'no, we need to have David back, try a fourth or a fifth time if possible' and this is what they did.
"After the fifth time my heart started again and this is when they took me to the hospital and I had a full bypass.
"When I came out of the hospital the main thing was talking to the surgeon who operated on me. He said 'David, I did my job, it's like a plumber, I put all the tubes in place and now your heart and your artery are fine. But the ones who saved your life were the people on the pitch who did exactly what they have to do'."
Following Eriksen's collapse, Ginola took to twitter to call for more training in CPR.
He tweeted: "Hope Christian Eriksen had a good night. He was saved by people trained in 1st aid: what to do in an emergency, how to perform CPR, what number to call? Why not make learning 1st aid compulsory in school, or for a driving test? 1st aid really does save lives."
