England Under-21 manager Stuart Pearce said: "The investment of £800,000 from The FA and BHF makes it much easier for clubs to get their hands on a piece of kit that ordinarily would be too expensive for them.It's important that football clubs take the opportunity to make sure we see more stories of survival in the future.The initiative will also give players, staff and fans information needed to save a life, including advice on hands-only resuscitation techniques, which have been advertised for the heart charity by former Wimbledon captain Vinnie Jones.On the anniversary of his collapse, Muamba, who is set to become a father for the second time in June, tweeted: "Last year today my world nearly ended. I'm alive and loving life. Thank you all for love and support. God bless you all.
