IAN LADYMAN: It would be a wonderful if Christian Eriksen snubbed Tottenham and Co to stay at Brentford for the long-term... but I'd be absolutely STAGGERED if he did

I can remember exactly what I was doing when Christian Eriksen suffered his heart attack playing for Denmark last summer.

I was standing in a long queue for Euro 2020 accreditation outside Wembley. With only my mobile phone keeping me in touch with proceedings in Copenhagen, I feared Eriksen would not recover. As the long minutes passed without a positive update, I thought he was about to die on the pitch.

It is hard not to watch Eriksen play now without thinking about that day. Simply to see Eriksen back on the field playing for Brentford against his old club Tottenham on Saturday was as uplifting as anything I have witnessed in sport.
