Happened right in front of me. It didn't look promising. Top work to the guy who did cpr.
Steward said at half time said he was okay and being taken to hospital so fingers crossed he's okay
And I was just 2 rows in front. Left me feeling the football was no more than incidental until half time and we heard he was OK.
You're right about the chap doing the cpr - shame the stewards had to butt in with their hero mentality and be really quite rude to the guy who may have saved this man's life. He was very gracious considering.
What did they say to him? I thought the stewards did a decent job, especially in such a serious situation. The guy doing cpr was on the scene very quickly and has given the guy a much improved chance of surviving. I really hope he pulls through
Look, to be fair they did do a good job in difficult circumstances, but they weren't interested that this guy was involved in the care of the fella (or that he had some medical qualifications), they summarily dismissed him as an interferer and treated him accordingly. Just felt it was unnecessary, it felt like they were weighing in with a 'we're here now to rescue everything' attitude.
It was all horrible though, and maybe I'm overreacting.
Not good, but I have been in that situation before when say the Ambulance service turn up and they move you to the side as the alternative is to trust you know what you are doing and you could simply have seen the Vinny Jones advert.
No arguments with that. The guy didn't either really, but it came across as 'the real heroes are here now so move along' - but as I say I'm probably overreacting, it was a very difficult circumstance.
Could see it all from the North Stand and as said it went very quiet when people saw the CPR being done. Well done to the first responders who got the person to hospital---lets hope the recovery continues.
In all first aid training you are taught to do what you can until the professionals arrive. In such a situation the medics have to presume that those helping are untrained and there is hardly the time to have a conversation about it when there is someone in need of attention.
Well done to the person who did step up, takes a lot of balls to do that. Thoughts with the person and their family and hopefully they make a full recovery

Though I am 'first aid' trained and know how to administer CPR if I ever came upon the situation where I had to use it, I think I would shit myself and would hope that there was someone else there who could do it.
So much respect to the guy who administered the CPR, and I hope the guy pulls through.
Hey guys, just wanted to clear up a couple of points. It was myself who initially carried out CPR on the gentleman. I was sat a few rows back and saw that something was going on, so obviously went into 'work' mode and did my best to help out. It was clear that the man was in cardiac arrest, so I kept things ticking over until the medical team arrived, and assisted where possible.
It's obviously difficult in those situations and not nice for anyone, so it's not surprising that while you're trying to explain your role and offer further assistance, some people become slightly blinkered and 'task orientated'. This was the case with one of the stewards, but to him I was a guy in plain clothes who was in the way. I understood that, and as the casualty was in good hands I thought it was probably better to go back to my seat rather than confuse matters.
If anyone has any further information on his current condition I'd be very grateful. Thanks.

Well done, you are a hero, fair play to you sir and thank you.

We were all very impressed and undoubtedly your quick thinking has significantly improved the gentleman's chances of a recovery.

Fan of the Year award right here... Well done sir... Absolute hero
Well done Rylo. You almost certainly saved a mans life last night and there's not many people who can say that after a game of footy. Hat's off to you!

Few hero's at The Valley last night - but none more so than you
Rylo - FANtastic work. Well done and sincerely hope that your work is rewarded with the greatest reward of all being the survival of the gent in question.
Fingers crossed, you may well have saved a fellow fans life last night. From what you posted, you sound a humble guy. You are also a bloody hero, and I hope your efforts get properly recognised.

Well done Rylo.
