A first aider who collapsed while playing badminton near Bridgnorth had his life saved by his friend of 16 years.

First Responder Russell Bill saved the life of his colleague Kevin Brown after he had a heart attack playing badminton.

Mr Bill, 33, said that despite the shock of finding his friend in a life-threatening situation, he calmly applied defibrillator pads to restore Mr Brown’s heartbeat. After returning home, he had resumed some of his first responder duties and told the Star he hoped to be able to start driving again soon and return to work for Bridgnorth Aluminium.

They then headed over to the club’s indoor training dome for some expert tuition before the day was completed with a tour of the Molineux stadium. School spokesman Iain Sweeney said: “The final score does not indicate the closeness of the game. Thomas Telford took the chances that came their way and resolute defending denied the Dukeries.”
