Fan reunited with off-duty medic who saved life

A football fan who went into cardiac arrest during a match has been reunited with the off-duty paramedic who saved his life.

Joshua Moseley fell ill during Aston Villa's Europa Conference League clash with Greek side Olympiakos.

Ambulance technician Heidi Elliot, also in the crowd, spotted what was going on and performed CPR. The club extended their thanks by inviting her to Bodymoor Heath Training Ground to meet the players.

Mr Moseley's family started a GoFundMe to raise money for a season ticket for ambulance technician Ms Elliot - but Aston Villa bosses surprised her with one for next season.
