Over the weekend, 27 year old Carl-Erik Torp, a midfielder for SK Brann, suffered a dramatic
collapse on the pitch and was immediately stretchered off by the medical staff. He was treated with
a cardiac de-fibrillator unit in the locker room to get his heart beating again. Torp had come in
as a 70th minute sub in the match against Sogndal, another Bergen side, in a domestic league
game.
