'Help me find her' - Father's plea to find hero who saved son's life after Aston Villa Holte End collapse

The father of the Aston Villa supporter who received emergency medical attention at the match with Olympiacos at Villa Park has called for social media to help him find the person who helped save his life.

Villa supporters in the Holte End lower L2 block were told to evacuate their area of the stand so medics could attend to an incident during half-time of Aston Villa's Europa Conference League clash with Olympiacos.

It is reported that the supporter suffered a cardiac arrest and emergency help was provided at the scene by other match-goers and medical professionals.

Speaking out on social media, Jason Moseley is keen to find one person whose help was integral to his son's survival. He tweeted:

"Please help me find the young lady who has saved his life .Twitter please do your stuff !"

The tweet has now been shared far and wide with fans identifying an unconfirmed name as the person who was responsible for helping to deliver the life-saving, quick thinking care he needed.

He continued: "Thank you for your thoughts , it was my son that collapsed .

"He is in hospital but sitting up and well waiting tests . Thank you to the amazing staff and supporters and emergency services who saved his life "

A fan at the game told BirminghamLive there was "loads of police" and an ambulance was brought pitchside. A sign on the stadium read: "Can all supporters please clear Holte Lower L2 immediately."

The public announcer told fans, "supporters must clear Holte End lower L2 immediately" to allow paramedics to reach the incident. Shortly after, an ambulance backed up between the Holte End and the Doug Ellis Stand.

As medics walked down the stairs with the patient, Villa and Olympiacos fans both clapped the medical team.

The public announcer then said: "We'd like to thank the medical staff for their prompt assistance this evening."

With the start of the second half delayed, TNT Sports presenter Jules Breach said: "Just to let you know, the reason that the second half hasn't got underway yet is because there has been a medical emergency in the stands, and there was a sign that went up just behind us that said to clear the Lower Holte L2 area.

"It has now been cleared of all the fans, but there has been a cardiac arrest, and we're hearing that there is going to be a short delay to the second half."

TNT Sports reporter Becky Ives then joined the broadcast from pitchside, and said: "Unfortunately right on the stroke of half-time the medical emergency happened. I was down the tunnel and the emergency services moved very quickly.

"They moved quickly to remove fans from the lower tier of the Holte End on the left hand side. There have been quite a few discussions going on as to how long the game will have to be halted for as the fan is moved into the waiting ambulance. Obviously we wish the fan all our good wishes and the health of the fan comes first."
