Everyone remembers the terrifying situation at last year’s Euros when Christian Eriksen collapsed on the pitch and had to be given CPR. Well it now transpires that Eriksen actually died for 5 minutes, which is just insane to think about. An elite athlete playing top level football and his heart just gives out and causes him to die for 5 minutes. Thanks to his quick-thinking teammates and medical staff at the arena, a serious tragedy was averted.

I’m pretty sure this is the first time Eriksen has spoken out about the incident, and he also added that he wants to play for Denmark at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar…

My goal is to play in the World Cup in Qatar. I want to play. That’s been my mindset all along.

It’s a goal, it’s a dream. Whether I’ll be picked is another thing. But it’s my dream to come back.

I’m sure I can come back because I don’t feel any different. Physically, I’m back in top shape. That’s my goal and it’s still some time away.

So until then, I’m just going to play football and prove that I’m back at the same level.

Well, good luck to him on that one. Dude has some serious balls to try and come back from that rather than just take his millions and retire in a Danish countryside paradise with his family. Then again he’s probably spent more than enough time with his family since last summer when this all went down. Let’s hope we see Eriksen out there in Qatar representing Denmark later this year. What a story it would be, especially if they go far in the competition.

Speaking of heart attacks, have a look at this list of Scottish deep fried delicacies we put together. Worth the risk?
