Love and courage guided Eriksen and Propper to their bold decisions in 2022

Key Facts

• Christian Eriksen had not kicked a ball in competitive play since that day last June when he collapsed on the pitch during Denmark's game with Finland at Euro 2020 and, in his own words, "died for five minutes" after suffering cardiac arrest.
• The device allows him to lead a moderately normal life, but it means he will live the rest of his days in the shadow of risk, particularly in situations of high physical and mental stress -- like, say, professional football.
• You can't make it up.) They faced each other in the Dutch league, and they later faced each other in the Premier League -- Eriksen moved to Tottenham in 2013, Propper to Brighton in 2017 -- and both played for their countries, with Eriksen earning 109 caps for Denmark and Propper 19 for the Oranje.
