A doctor who helped a football fan who collapsed in the stands during Newcastle's game against Tottenham says treating him on the terraces was 'very difficult'

"I couldn't hear what the defibrillator was telling me. It was all a bit different. So it was a bit of a struggle. But plenty of extra support arrived which was very helpful.", allowing the defibrillator to get to the fan more quickly and give the supporter a shock.

Dr Prichard said he was keen to raise public awareness of how important CPR and defibrillators can be, particularly afterduring this summer's Euro 2020 tournament. "And I would say that the real heroes here was St John's for acting so quickly in an extremely pressured environment."
