Lifesavers Honoured At Awards Night
Three heroes who saved the life of a match delegate at Turf Moor were honoured at this year’s North West Football Awards.
Burnley FC Club Doctor Simon Morris and Newcastle United Club Doctor Paul Catterson, along with John Moorhouse, Operations Manager at NW Ambulance Service, were all recipients of the Fabrice Muamba Award for Outstanding Contribution to Football Medicine Sports Science.
The trio helped save the life of Eddie Wolstenholme before a Premier League game at Turf Moor in November 2018, when the former Premier League referee collapsed in the tunnel ahead of the game, following a heart attack.
