A Chelsea football fan has been reunited with the St John Ambulance youth volunteer who saved his life with CPR after he went into cardiac arrest at a game.

Lifelong Chelsea fan Paul Archer, 66, collapsed at Stamford Bridge during a match against Manchester City in November before volunteer first aider Prince Tandukar, 22, arrived on the scene.

Doctors said it was 'a miracle' that Mr Archer survived as he was clinically dead for 20 minutes.

The pair smiled and hugged as they were reunited after being invited as VIP guests to the Chelsea training ground in Cobham, Surrey.
