Seen the article on the beeb? Lucky b
d!
His surgeon, speaking with authority of the family, told BBC Sport Ginola was "extremely lucky" to be alive.
A tweet from Ginola's account on Friday read: "Hello world, never slept better. I'm fine, just need to rest a bit."
What happened?
"David played a sort of charity football match. All of a sudden he collapsed and people thought it was a joke but after one or two minutes they realised it was serious," said Gilles Dreyfus, professor of cardiac surgery at the Monaco Heart Centre.
"Fortunately there was one person who had been trained in CPR, because otherwise he would have been brain dead. They then called the emergency services, who arrived eight minutes later with him in cardiac arrest.
"I was speaking to the captain and he was telling me the girl who was in the ambulance only knew where the football field, which isn't an official one but a private one, was because she had seen it that morning and asked somebody what it was.
"If she hadn't then most likely she would not have found it within the timeframe to save him.
"They arrived with him in cardiac arrest, he was shocked four times on site, they were able to restore a normal heart rhythm and within 10 minutes a helicopter arrived to transfer him to Monaco Heart Centre.
"I made the decision to transfer him to the operating theatre and he immediately underwent a quadruple heart bypass, which was very straightforward although difficult.
"This morning he woke up perfectly normally with no neurological damage and is now recovering from a bypass like anybody would normally do.
"It was a sequence of events that at every stage went absolutely fine, that is why he is here today. Luckier you can't be. It's an unbelievable story."

Makes you wonder how that can possibly happen and what nasty surprises are in store for the rest of us average Joes.
Makes me want to give up booze (beer) and to get extra fit (work provides free gym facilities).Have a reason!
Seriously, I'm 46 and had a full scan recently, with stress test. All was good apart from a tiny, tiny bit of plaque on an artery. Gave up smoking and doing stuff to make sure I'm doing my best.
I'll probably get hit by a bus tomorrow.
Usual stuff - life is too short, this isn't a rehearsal, and ultimately were irrelevant. Go do daft stuff and have fun.
