The grieving son of a football manager who died aged just 49 after a cardiac arrest in a gym has shared his anger that there was no defibrillator there to save him.
After one of the devices saved Danish footballer Christian Eriksen at a Euros match last weekend, Charlie Edinburgh blasted: “How many more cases like this are going to happen before they [the Government] stand up and take notice?”
Leyton Orient manager and former Tottenham Hotspur player Justin Edinburgh died in hospital less than a week after he suffered the heart incident while he was working out.
There was no defibrillator in the gym and he waited six minutes for one to arrive from a nearby shopping centre.
Charlie founded the Justin Edinburgh 3 Foundation to campaign for a “Justin’s Law” making defibrillators mandatory in all sports venues.
He now backs the Mirror’s calls to make the kit compulsory in schools and public buildings.
