Club president saves player's life

SLAVIA Sofia president Ventsislav Stefanov ran onto the field to save the life of one of his players who collapsed and swallowed his tongue during a Bulgarian league match.

Slavia player Radomir Nikov was left unconsciousness following a challenge from Zhivko Atanasov, which the referee did not stop play for, during the 1-0 win over city rival Levski Sofia on Thursday. "I saw our lad collapsing and I needed no permission from the match officials to rush onto the pitch and help him," Stefanov told local newspapers. "I didn't hesitate. But in a moment like this I would do the same for anyone, not only for a Slavia player," he said.
