Christian Eriksen and Thomas Frank visit CRY screening event

After his sudden collapse at last year’s Euros, Christian Eriksen returned to play in the Premier League with Brentford FC – a club that’s had a strong connection to CRY for years. CRY Patron Andy Scott played and managed at Brentford, they hosted the final screening days of CRY’s 2009 testmyheart screening tour in memory of Tom Clabburn, and the club has also been supporting us in memory of the team’s former technical director Robert Rowan since he died suddenly in 2018.

At the end of April, Eriksen and the club’s manager Thomas Frank attended one of CRY’s screening events, held in memory of Robert at Gunnersbury Park Sports Hub.

“I think it’s very important,” Christian said on the screening day. “To get clear of something you can avoid, I think is a very healthy thing to do. It’s obviously something that, even in my case, something happened that you wouldn’t know was going to happen. So to get that cleared out of the way from a doctor’s perspective is only a positive thing.”

We are so grateful for everything Robert’s friends and family have done for CRY, as well as the support of Christian, Thomas, and everyone else at Brentford FC.
