He says he's been incredibly lucky
A Nottinghamshire company boss was saved by his staff after suffering a cardiac arrest during a work football game.
"The defibrillator being on the site and the training my team had was not luck - fortunately all the right things were in place and that's how it should be for everyone. Take any one of these things out of the chain, including the ambulance turning up quickly, and I would be dead - no doubt about it.
On Monday, March 20 Gilbert agreed to take part in a clinical trial for a new type of arterial expansion balloon coated with a drug to treat his heart. This operation was successful, dealing with the tear in an artery which had caused the cardiac arrest. Andrei Cox, 51, a client support manager for HPS Product Recovery Solutions who was playing in goal at the time, raced to help save his boss' life as the dramatic scene unfolded. "I saw Gilbert bending over like he was tired on the pitch, then I saw him walk off," he said.
