Brian Soulsby, who attended Saturday's Championship play-off final with his family, spotted "someone in distress" as the crowd celebrated Sunderland's first goal.
Mr Soulsby, who works as a nurse practitioner at South Tyneside and Sunderland NHS Trust, said: "I've never preformed CPR in my clinical practice role in over 20 years but I'm very glad I had the training."
