YORKSHIRE Air 999 saw a horrifying moment occur where emergency services desperately tried to save a rugby players life on the pitch, following a cardiac arrest.
It happened after a routine rugby session took a terrible turn as 48-year-old coach Lee Garside collapsed and faced the threat of a cardiac arrest.
The Air Ambulance crew rushed to save him, after his teammates called 999 from the scene in Yorkshire.
They said over the phone before the ambulance arrived: “He’s collapsed, and he’s passed out…I’m doing CPR on him right now as we’re talking.
Luckily, the air ambulance crew were able to arrive in a rapid response vehicle in just four minutes.
Updating them on the situation, Lee’s teammates said: “‘He’s been in and out of consciousness, and (his) breathing keeps stopping.”
The air ambulance crew are seen doing five shocks with the defibrillator, and spend ten minutes trying to revive Lee through CPR.
And they were successful in their mission, after swift action and a return of spontaneous circulation.
The harrowing scene is captured on the sixth episode of Yorkshire Air 999, which airs on Friday 7 February at 9pm on Really.
As they took Lee to hospital, the paramedics warned that he wasn’t “out of the woods,” adding: “He’s had a really serious event and it’s still ongoing at that point. Patients will re-arrest on you, so I’m mindful of that with Lee on this occasion.”
And just before they arrive at the hospital, Lee starts seizing, with crew believing it was down to lack of oxygen to his brain during the cardiac arrest.
Luckily for Lee, upon arrival at the hospital the crash team were waiting and he was fitted with an ICD (Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator).
Just eight weeks after, Lee experienced another cardiac arrest while watching TV, and he said when speaking about it after recovering: “My heart started going to one side, and it just gave me a massive, massive kick.”
On the show, Lee gets emotional as he thanks everyone for their life-saving efforts.
He added: “Without them guys I probably wouldn’t have been here today.”
JOAO FELIX took just 12 minutes to score his first AC Milan goal following his loan transfer from Chelsea.
The 25-year-old completed a move to Italy on deadline day.

Just five months ago Chelsea paid £45m to sign him from Atletico Madrid.
However, Felix was down the pecking order under Enzo Maresca and managed seven goals in 20 appearances, many of which came in the Europa Conference League.
The Blues subsequently loaned him out to AC Milan, who paid a £5million loan fee with no obligation to buy.
But the Serie A might be thinking it was some shrewd business after Felix scored an important goal to put them in the semi-finals of the Coppa Italia.
With the score 2-1 in Milan’s favour, Felix was introduced in the 59th minute as a replacement for Christian Pulisic.
The Portuguese forward was then played into open space in the 71st minute by fellow deadline-day signing Santiago Gimenez.
Felix then proceeded to calmly chip the ball over Roma goalkeeper Mile Svilar to make the score 3-1 and mark a perfect debut for himself and Gimenez – a £27m buy from Feyenoord.
Reacting on social media, some fans were critical of Chelsea’s handling of Felix, with one saying: “We can now agree Chelsea ruins players.”

A second said: “Chelsea has ALWAYS ruined players, they were the club that would buy players so other teams couldn’t and then sit them on the bench.”
A third added: “Chelsea almost ruined him.”
Another fan argued it was a motivation issue, saying: “He’s motivated for the first few games and then it will drop.”
A fifth fan said: “They should make his move there permanent.”
Felix did also manage to score for Chelsea on his second debut for them this season during the 6-2 thrashing of Wolves, before failing to score another league goal.
Milan have been joined in the semi-finals by Bologna, while two of Inter Milan or Lazio and Juventus or Empoli will make up the rest of the last four.
The final will be held on May 14, where the Rossoneri will be hoping to win the competition for their sixth time overall and the first time since 2003.

CRISTIANO RONALDO reckons no other player can hold a candle to him.
And he might also wax lyrical about his 40th birthday cake – thanks to an incredible creation from Al-Nassr.
Ronaldo‘s Saudi club served up a triple-tier offering – laced with three truly special extras.
In front of the cake sat five tasty Ballons d’Or, looking golden delicious.
Embedded around it was a touching selection of childhood pictures.
And perched on top of the cake was a mini version of the legend himself, performing the type of overhead kick that rekindled memories of the cream of his 923 goals (and counting).
Al-Nassr posted snaps of the beaming ex-Manchester United frontman gazing down at the carb-crammed construction – something that health-conscious Ronaldo might normally avoid.
They added the words: “Happiness looks good on him.”
Team-mates like new £64million striker Jhon Duran crowded alongside CR7 in other photos.
And as supporters responded to the pics with a stream of good wishes to the Portugal great, Ron also shared his verdict on the big day.

The ex-Real Madrid hero posted a cosy picture with girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez and said: “Thank you all for the amazing birthday messages!
“Had a great day with family and friends, couldn’t wish for anything better.”
Ron has also revealed in interviews that he believes playing on “a year, or two, or three” is still possible.
But as he reached what many regard as a landmark birthday, he appeared to be more philosophical.
CR7 claimed he “doesn’t care” how long it lasts, as well as suggesting he’s relaxed about whether he bags the 77 strikes needed to reach four figures.
He said: “If I reach 1,000 goals, great. If not, that’s fine too. Numbers don’t lie.”
Ronaldo won the Champions League four times with Real, all with Real, plus La Liga twice, three Prem crowns with United and Serie A on a couple of occasions with Juventus.
And as represented by the Ballons d’Or cake accessories, he was also named world player of the year five times.
So, at least in terms of honours, he’s the perfect antidote to the argument that life begins at 40.
But he’s certainly chosen the moment to serve up some strife – for those who like a heated debate.
Ronaldo stirred up the eternal question of “Who is the GOAT?” by again insisting he’s “the best player ever”.
He added: “I’m fast, I’m strong, [I score] with my head, with the left, no one has ever been more complete than me.
“You may prefer Pele, Lionel Messi and Diego Maradona, I understand and respect that…. I am the best in history. Period.”
Whatever Al-Nassr or anyone gave Ron for his birthday, it surely won’t beat the satisfaction of such an awesome self-assessment.
