He had to be resuscitated on the pitch, lying unconscious for several minutes as the stunned crowd and millions of television viewers around the world watched on in horror.

Eriksen spent several days in the hospital and had a pacemaker implanted to regulate his heartbeat.
He terminated his contract with Inter Milan by mutual consent in December as the Italian league rules bar players with pacemakers.
He was signed by Premier League outfit Brentford in January. He made 11 appearances for Brentford, scoring once and providing four assists.
The United manager, who will travel to Thailand with his squad on Friday for the start of the club's pre-season tour, is desperate to change the landscape of his side's midfield options this summer and Eriksen is looking as though he could be his first new addition in that area of the team. The Manchester Evening News understands that United are now working hard to get a deal wrapped up and sign him on a three-year contract.
The 30-year-old was offered a new deal by Brentford, who snapped him up on a short-term contract back in January, but he failed to commit his future to the Bees.
