Title: The fan who had the heart attack in h6 today
Post by: ffcthereligion on February 29, 2020, 07:23:23 PM
Any news on his condition? It was only a few rows back from me. Sadly I think he may well have died given the length of time paramedics were there. Let's hope not but if this does prove to be the case I hope the club make some kind of reference to it at the next home game.

The person at the Hammy end that required medical attention midway through the second half. I hope they are alright

I'm anxious to know if hes ok or not and obviously hoping he is. I was aware something was up but it was only on leaving that it was apparent to me that it was really serious.

Felt really upset about it and guilty for celebrating abou's goal. Really gave everything some perspective for me

Being in the Putney end I didn't know what it was but guessed it was a heart attack. Sincerely hope they made it through .

We weren't aware until we left the ground and saw the ambulances. I do sincerely hope 5hat he survived and is recovering.

Viewed it from the middle of the JH stand. First thought it was a bit of crowd trouble until I saw a couple of medics attending, let's hope there is a positive outcome. Can someone keep us updated?

That's brilliant, I was expecting the worst having seen the CPR.  Well done to the medics.

Pleased to hear the supporter is recovering. Thought it might be worth pointing out that from the back of H4 I couldn't hear a word from the tannoy, it wasn't until I saw the ambulance outside the ground when I realised what had happened.

I was a few seats away and can only congratulate the fantastic work of the medical team. They worked on him for 20+ minutes and for the guy to have a chance is amazing.

I'm the poor chaps mate and was sat next to him as usual today. Just got back from the hospital where he's been taken to.
He's recovering, probable heart attack but awaiting tests. He's had a heart issue for a while that the docs were trying to understand: hopefully after today they'll get a move on. He's a fit 65 year old who runs a 10k weekly so is well set up to recover.
A massive thanks to everyone who jumped in to help. Fulham is the best place on earth to have a heart attack! Special thanks to the two lady nurses who were first to dive in to help.
The Fulham stewards and medics were very wonderful and totally professional. Needed the defibrillator too.
And thanks to all the fans who quietly moved elsewhere when asked, much appreciated,
I hope Robert will be back soon at the Cottage. He's there most games and we went to Hamburg together.
His family are very grateful for everyone's concern, as am I.
Cheers all!

Fantastic news he's on the mend and that he was able to be seen to so diligently by fans/nurses and medics alike. Sorry you both had to go through that, particularly him, must've been a horrendous experience, but I hope he makes a full recovery and they get to the bottom of it. Hopefully he'll be back at a game soon.

Never noticed the incident but so pleased to hear of the recovery, may he soon be well enough to join us all again at the Cottage.

Really good news that he is recovering. I think a lot of us have been thinking about him all evening. Well done to everyone involved in helping him the medical people and the stewards. It's reassuring to know this level of care is planned for at each match. Get well soon sir and thank you for the update

Well said SP. So glad to hear the chap is recovering. Due to heart conditions this may be the first in over 60 years that I don't get to a match so if I do it's good to hear that the medical team at FFC are first class. Get well son to the guy

Post by: ALG01 on March 01, 2020, 10:34:39 AM
good to hear he is doing well but not the frst time I have seen this at the cottage. some years ago a man collapsed a couple of rows in front of us and was laid out on the seats two rows down. There was no time to get a screen erected like yesterday, I could see it all happeing right in front of us. The stewards and medics on the day worked brilliantly and whilst it seemed all hope was lost for the fellow we saw all the years ago, i subsequently learned, was saved him once outside the ground.

These things do bring back a  bit of perspective as to how thin the strand that keeps us alive is. BUT it should be a remider to live life to the full and enjoy every moment!

Glad the fellow is making a good recovery and well done to the stwewards and medics.

Good news that he is recovering, if it was a heart attack. A bit of encouragement. Medical procedures these days are excellent. Having been through it back in 97 and having a bypass. Impressed by the response.

That's good to hear. Thanks for sharing the news.

I've got to say it was a surreal experience trying to cheer the lads on whilst knowing that someone was fighting for their life a couple of blocks away.

I am sure I am reflecting the wishes of the rest of FOF in asking you to pass on all of our best wishes for a speedy recovery!

Happened just in front of us, he seemed in a bad way at first and required CPR until the Paramedics arrived and took over. After quite some time working on him with oxygen and a drip he was eventually conscious. The Fulham support team and security, the paramedics and the supporter who jumped down from behind us to assist must take a great deal of credit for keeping the unfortunate supporter alive and I for one say Well Done everybody involved. Very professional.
