A Villa supporter who suffered a cardiac arrest while attending a match says no words can do justice to the heroic actions of the fellow fan who saved his life.
Josh Moseley, a 24-year-old engineer from Bloxwich, described how he “basically died for five minutes” after collapsing at Villa Park earlier this month.
He was given vital CPR by Heidi Elliott, who clambered over seats in order to reach him in the lower tier of the Holte End.
Heidi was invited back to Villa Park to meet players and staff, attend an open training session and get a huge reward for her bravery.
