A non-League goalkeeper helps save the life of a fan who collapsed in the stands, minutes after being shown the red card for a dangerous tackle.
Ben Scott, keeper for Stocksbridge Park Steels, was sent off near the end of a Northern Premier League match away to King's Lynn Town. The King's Lynn fan, a man in his 70s, had a suspected cardiac arrest and Mr Scott, a staff nurse, went to help.
The 29-year-old player helped the St John Ambulance team to stabilise the man. "It does put things into perspective - you do realise that football is only a game," said Scott.

A player from a third-division Argentine club has died of a heart attack during a match. Club Deportivo Laferrere says Hector Sanabria collapsed in the 29th minute of a game against General Lamadrid on Tuesday, a day before his 28th birthday. The Argentine Football Federation says all weekend matches will be preceded by a minute's silence in Sanabria's honour.
