It's often said "One man doesn't make a team, but Erik's certainly appears to have improved Brentford's fortunes!

 

[Brussels Bureaucrat]

I wonder if he'll still be at Brentford next year. He can't have imagined his comeback being such a triumph. What a player he is.

 

[Argyleloyal]

He collapsed during Denmarks friendly game against Ukraine, he’s apparently conscious and doing well

He needs to hang up his boots, great player but his body is telling him its time

 

[Daz]

Awful to see. Glad he was able to walk to the ambulance.

 

[Forest of Dean Green]

I hope he makes a sensible choice now and prioritises his health. However hard that must be

 

[Mexijan1]

Great player but time to quit now.

It’s sad for Christian and his family. Official records since the 1960s show an annual average of about 60 sudden incidents like this worldwide. It was very rare. Until in 2021 to 2023 a study collated 2100 incidents. No longer that rare.

Interesting. Better, more broadly-based research, or are fitness coaches starting to push things too far? Things of this nature normally go the other way, by that I mean the 60s was a lot less healthy and well-monitored place.
