Newcastle United legend David Ginola spoke to NUFC TV about how his life was saved by CPR following a cardiac arrest in 2016. The Frenchman was clinically dead for more than eight minutes after collapsing during a charity match, while his friend and fellow footballer Frédéric Mendy administered cardiopulmonary resuscitation which ultimately saved his life. Ginola attended a Newcastle United Foundation Restart a Heart class at Benfield School to speak to youngsters about why CPR and automated external defibrillator (AED) training is so important. He also chatted about his memories of his two years at St. James' Park - and why missing out on the Premier League title in 1995/96 still hurts him now.
