'As an A&E doctor I thought I'd better go and offer a hand if I can, and see what help I can give here. They were calling over the stewards and first-aiders, and I could see a lady there doing CPR on someone. 'I was sat in the Gallowgate End and I could see something was happening with the fans. 'It all happened so quickly, to be honest,' said Dr Prichard, who has been a season ticket-holder at Newcastle for 14 years. Hero doctor Prichard, who works in the A&E department of a north-east hospital and also part-time at Middlesbrough's academy, appeared on BBC Breakfast on Monday morning to describe his actions and how it unfolded. The dramatic moment came as Geordie fans - many wearing traditional Arab garb - gathered at St James' Park for the first time since the club's controversial £300million takeover by a Saudi-backed consortium. In the clip, posted to Twitter, chants of 'hero' can be heard, while one man goes as far as to shake Dr Prichard's hand before celebrating as though a goal had been scored.
