Football fan praises paramedic who saved his life

A 24-year-old football fan has praised the trainee paramedic who gave him CPR when he went into cardiac arrest.

Josh Moseley became ill in the stands watching Aston Villa's Europa Conference League match against Olympiakos on 2 May.

Fellow spectator Ms Elliot jumped over seats to reach him and perform the life-saving treatment before a defibrillator and other medics arrived.

"I’ve never met anyone so amazing in my life," he said. "At the end of the day she saved my life," he said.

The pair were reunited on Monday at Villa's Bodymoor Heath training ground after the club invited them down to meet the players.
