Tom Lockyer hails nation's response to Sky Bet-British Heart Foundation campaign Every Minute Matters after record-breaking start... as 23,000 people sign up for life-saving CPR training

Tom Lockyer has hailed the nation's response to the 'Every Minute Matters' campaign, which seeks to educate people on potentially life-saving CPR training.

Luton Town captain Lockyer suffered a cardiac arrest back in December during a game, having already suffered an atrial flutter in the Championship play-off final the summer before.

The Wales international's life was saved by the use of CPR and defibrillation in December, and he has since been fitted with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator device following five days in hospital.

Lockyer is part of a group of former and current football stars fronting the 'Every Minute Matters' campaign with the aim of recruiting 270,000 people to learn CPR in just 12 months, equipping more and more people with the skills to potentially save somebody's life.
