Walkden26 Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 This chap deserves a medal for getting on the pitch (assuming past stewards) to help Fabrice in the first instance and in the ambulance to the hospital. Would be extremely nice of the club to invite him up to do a golden gamble or something so the fans can show him their appreciation. http://www.spirehealthcare.com/roding/our-facilities-treatments-and-consultants/our-consultants/dr-andrew-deaner/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregbwfc Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I think someone mentioned what if this chap hadn't been at the game. Have a look at that link ! Interests include cycling,travel and the theatre !! And he was there at Spurs !!! Happen I'm wrong, maybe there is a god and he's smiling down on our lad.

The Wanderer Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Just been on Sky Sports News, he was the man who advised paramedics to take Fab the hospital he is at now and is now involved in his care. If the stewards had have played by the rules, even Howard Webb could have followed guidelines and asked him leave the field of play, things could have been different. Football rightly went out the window when this happened. Fucking well done to all involved, you could have well saved his life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did go onto the pitch though, and his presence there and in the ambulance would have been invaluable if required- should give him a medal for his efforts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SalfordOriginal Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 He did go onto the pitch though, and his presence there and in the ambulance would have been invaluable if required- should give him a medal for his efforts Exactly, I believe they drove past 2 other hospitals to get to the one that is treating Fabrice because of its specialitiy.. Dr Deaner must have had a say in this. Everyone from Howard Webb to the nurses who are giving Fabrice around the clock care deserve a medal, but then again its just a regular day for these special people. It just takes a case like this to bring it to forefront of our minds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pablo Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Great news about him now, but I wonder how many other people will get the effort Fab has had ? He is one lucky boy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SalfordOriginal Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Great news about him now, but I wonder how many other people will get the effort Fab has had ? He is one lucky boy. He was fortunate as to where this happened and the immediate care he recieved (even to the fact we were playing in London with a specialist unit), but I would like to think that even the man in the street would get the care required. Having seen an ICU department in action on an everyday basis, they in the main do a wonderful job in the most difficult situations regardless of who the patient was.

I agree, and you know more than me, but the cynic in me thinks that Joe Postman will not bet 2 hours spent trying to get his heart going. Maybe it was down to the high level of care.

Ben Der Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Just read up on this guy and you couldnt have wanted a better man to have been there. Top bloke and I'm just glad the stewards let him on, they could have quite easily said no. Hope we do something to recognise this mans efforts.

Site Supporter Alf Hartigan Posted March 19, 2012 Site Supporter Share Posted March 19, 2012 (edited) Few people I know mentioning getting a banner for him and the Spurs fans for the league game at the Reebok. I must admit to feeling something for Spurs now. I'd like to think all fans would have shown the same reaction, but their realisation of the seriousness (as a whole crowd) was quite impressive. I'll be applauding them when they come to ours. Edited March 19, 2012 by Alf Hartigan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghana White Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Incredible quick thinking, even if all he did was make sure they went straight to the specialist unit he's saved his life.. for someone to react like that is unbelievable..
