Heart starters

DANISH football star Christian Eriksen was both unlucky and lucky.

Unfortunate that he’s relatively young at 29 to suffer a cardiac arrest and fortunate he could receive the best possible treatment.

Many others die from delays or lack of care, which is why the Daily Mirror is campaigning to make defibrillators widely available.

MPs battling to change the law deserve Government support, or the Government itself must step in and put defibs in every school, sports club, major shop, pub and community.

Before he was PM, Boris Johnson backed the Oliver King Foundation, created in memory of a Liverpool schoolboy who died after a cardiac arrest during a swimming lesson with no defibrillator available.

Johnson must walk the talk now he’s in No10.
