Rochdale goalkeeper David Lucas has thanked Sheffield United's striker Richard Cresswell for actions that he thinks probably saved his life - even though he has no recollection of what happened.
Saturday’s League One meeting between the promotion chasing sides at Bramall Lane included an incident that has united the two clubs. Lucas said: "As dramatic as it sounds to say he saved my life, maybe he did." The pair played together during their time at Preston and attended each other’s weddings. “It was lucky on my part that someone as sensible and quick-thinking like Cressy reacted as quickly as he did.”The traumatic experience has left Lucas unaware of the incident which left him needing 10 minutes of urgent treatment. He added: “I've been told Cressy put me in the recovery position and stopped me swallowing my tongue. I'll be ringing Cressy to say thank you and also the Sheffield United medical staff for their help.”
