A young man who was alerted to a footballer who was in cardiac arrest managed to revive him three times before paramedics arrived on scene. "The odds were not great," said 19-year-old Joshua Warwick, who administered CPR on a teenager of the same age, after the footballer had collapsed while playing at Harvey Hadden Sports Village in Bilborough.
Mr Warwick, who was 18 at the time, performed the emergency CPR on fellow teenager Kye Wilson, who had collapsed while playing football in October of last year. With some help the football coach from Sneinton used an available defibrillator to bring Mr Wilson back three times.
Recalling what happened, Mr Warwick said: "Someone came over saying a player was in trouble and not well. So I went over and Mr Wilson was not breathing.
