I most certainly concur with these sentiments.Well done to all.
Delighted that the outcome wasn't a lot worse and of course I wish Steve a full recovery.

Glad to read the guy is alright.

Agreed - thanks for his operation news and progress being shared.

My own training from years back.
Once the heart has stopped, CPR is a make-shift until a defib arrives. Defib is the only way to re-start a heart.
And using a defib in the wrong situation can be fatal, but chances are, with modern tech, you are doing the right thing

The first thing to do in these situations is to feel depressed and like you've had extremely bad luck. It's only natural.

However, being at the club he loves and no doubt has supported even through the bad times of late looks to have saved his life and whilst I'm not a poetic man, that is sincerely quite beautiful.

Fate played a huge part of course. Away game, international game, 5:30 kick off, moved for TV etc and this would probably have been a different outcome.

But thanks to the excellent medical personal at Selhurst Park, this man will get another chance. He needed to be at Selhurst watching his team at this exact time to of stood a chance.

I wish him all the best on his recovery and I'm sure the next game he attends will be very special!

Get well soon Steve

Best wishes to Steve and family and well done to all who did their best for him at Palace. Survival rates for those having cardiac arrests outside of hospital are, I am told, not great. It sounds like quick action by qualified people worked well.
