Matt Tacey has set up a GoFundMe page to raise £2,000 for the device.
Matt, who is a lead nurse based in Chesterfield, said: “The recent events in which we all witnessed a professional footballer, Christian Eriksen, have a cardiac arrest and was saved by a defibrillator has highlighted the importance for our village, Wingerworth, to have one that is close and accessible to the sports fields.

“We do have another at the Barley Mow – however, ensuring the defibrillator arrives swiftly is paramount to a successful recovery. Having the defibrillator close to the playing fields may just save a life.”
