Bovril 219 Posted March 12, 2023 Story on their forum here. Norwich fan in and out of consciousness with Police around him (waiting for Ambulance). Sunderland fan, medically trained, stopped and advised Police to check the Norwich fan's pockets, where they found EpiPen's, which the Sunderland fan duly injected into his leg and the fan came round. Well done to that Sunderland fan. 31 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yellowrider120 766 Posted March 12, 2023 Wonderful stuff from the Mackem fan. Would be great if NCFC invited him back to a match at FCR and he was reunited with the Norwich fan on the pitch pre match. He would get a fantastic reception and masses of well deserved media attention. I have a family friend who is a huge Sunderland fan and he came down to the match to day with his Dad. I'm sure he would help organise this as would I from the Norwich perspective. Worth pointing out that my Mackem friend is also a Norwich member and has been with us to several Norwich away matches proudly wearing the famous Yellow! 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Glad to hear the relationship between the two clubs endures. And completely agree that NCFC should organise something to recognise that Sunderland fan's quick thinking Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bovril 219 Posted March 12, 2023 I've been given the name of the Sunderland fan who provided help. Anyone know who to pass his details to? maybe @Feedthewolfcan help if I DM the fan's contact details? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Great idea, something our PR team should be doing rather than dreaming up ludicrous codes of conduct for our fans when they're in Carrow Road. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cambridgeshire canary 6,755 Posted March 13, 2023 Top club Sunderland, always had some good fans. And since Newcastles dodgy takeover Sunderland are the biggest club in the North. Seriously however this is a great story. Good on the guy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Raptor 1,218 Posted March 13, 2023 Great story. Hopefully the clubs can give it a bit more publicity. Prove football fans aren't all mindless drunks who argue over the use of a drum! Maybe the fans can reunite the next time we play each other. I've had basic first aid training but wouldn't have thought to check the guys pockets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No idea why you have so much trouble getting a response from the club. I tend to send one email and mostly get a response the same day, just like it was 3,5 or 10 years ago. You’re perhaps asking more difficult questions; I’m little more than a simpleton. I suppose it could be that they’re waiting for someone to invent the technology to revive Alan Turing to try and decipher your bollox. Or…maybe they think you’re a pain in the Khyber. It’s probably how clever you are though. Your posts tie me up in knots! I did get a C in Geography though, so I’m a dab hand at Ox Bow lakes. 😉 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
