Steve Croft, the Barnsley FC volunteer who suffered a heart attack at Oakwell last month, has returned home.
The 61-year-old collapsed minutes before the game against Burton Albion on September 22, which was then called off.
He was saved by medical staff from both clubs as well as paramedics before being airlifted to hospital by an air ambulance helicopter which landed on the pitch.
Assistant coach Andreas Winkler said at yesterday’s press conference: “Steve Croft is back home now which is very good news.”
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
