Hero doctor saves Blackburn fan’s life months after saving Newcastle supporter

Dr Tom Pritchard was a hero yet again

A doctor saved the life of a Blackburn Rovers fan during their game against Middlesbrough on Monday night - just three months after saving the life of a Newcastle United supporter at St James' Park. Dr Tom Pritchard, who is a part of the medical department at Middlesbrough, was on hand to help an elderly supporter who collapsed during the game at Ewood Park behind the dugouts. The supporter was treated in the stands before being moved to hospital, where he is now in a stable condition, with Blackburn releasing a statement to pay tribute to the Middlesbrough staff. https://twitter.com/Rovers/status/1485756744924082183?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1485756744924082183%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sportbible.com%2Ffootball%2Fdr-saves-blackburn-fans-life-after-resuscitating-newcastle-supporter-20220126 It said: "Rovers wish to pay a special thanks to Middlesbrough’s medical department, who were first on the scene and who were able to restart the gentleman’s breathing, as well as Rovers’ medical staff and the crowd doctor and his team for their swift response.
