With Scotland at the Euros for the first time since 1996, Former Scottish manager Craig Brown's getting a lot of reappraisal in documentaries this week and looked quite old and a bit frail tbh. Apparently he had an aortic aneurysm last year and is lucky to still be with us. One to watch, now. Aberdeen and Scotland hero Craig Brown reveals he had 30-percent chance of survival after an aneurysm (thescottishsun.co.uk) (Btw, alcoholic George Burley in the mention above still lives.) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vinegar Tits 605 Posted June 12, 2021 This looks very grim indeed. While the cameras shouldn't be showing the CPR, I'm not sure what the broadcasters can realistically do other than show scenes from the stadium. Ah, and the BBC have cut back to the studio. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
arghton 6,697 Posted June 12, 2021 Horrible. I was watching it while it happened, didn't realize it was serious at first... I hope the man survives and recovers from this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Whitehouse 872 Posted June 12, 2021 I realized at once the terrible situation. The way he went down, the vacant look of his eyes, gosh I hope he is pulling through. We are known for our borderline morbid humor but this was humbling. Don't take life for granted. Match is suspended. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vinegar Tits 605 Posted June 12, 2021 If someone flops down like that and doesn't get up/move within a few seconds or start rolling around on the floor in alleged agony it's usually serious. The best you can expect is it's a reflex syncope, at worst it's a cardiac issue and CPR is undertaken... Fingers crossed for Eriksen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Perhaps 1,423 Posted June 12, 2021 Not sure the legitimacy of this tweet because I have zero interest in football but if it’s from today’s situation he’s conscious. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RoverAndOut 4,746 Posted June 12, 2021 There's a photo doing the rounds on Twitter that suggests he's got his eyes open on the stretcher. Seems like they may have somehow stabilised him. Looked pretty grim on the pitch, fingers crossed he's had a lucky escape. But not out of the woods yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Genfærd 452 Posted June 12, 2021 As a Dane, I am completely shocked. All day, i have seen people in Danish shirts out and about and me, the family and girlfriend are having a good evening and this happens. I am shaking. Glad he is OK at least. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ladyfiona 2,577 Posted June 12, 2021 I just did a rewatch on Iplayer because I wasn't concentrating on the match at the time and it seems he just passed the ball, stumbled and then collapsed. I'm sure we'll get more information but it was shocking to watch. The broadcaster should not have filmed for so long and should have gone to the studio quicker if it was possible.
