Incredibly powerful story. NFFC's SteveCook28 visited Joshua who saved another man's life
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.
"It was quite scary. At the time I was the same age as Kye and you do not think about it in the moment but it affected me for quite a while because I play football and coach football. Football is my life. To see someone the same age as me die while playing football is not great." As an extra reward the 19-year-old, who is a Nottingham Forest fan, had a surprise visit from Reds defender Steve Cook. It's a story close to the experienced centre half's heart with his dad having suffered a cardiac arrest before Forest played Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium in May. In a powerful tweet after the match, Cook, who joined the Reds from Bournemouth, thanked the paramedics for saving the life of his dad.
Just 12 percent of people who suffer a cardiac arrest survive. Speaking of the incident, Mr Wilson said: "I feel very happy for him [winning the award] because I don't feel like him, or people in his position, get as much recognition as they deserve. Josh played a very big part in me still being here today."
