Francis KONE

🇹🇬 Togo

During a Czech First League game, Slovacko's Togolese player Francis Kone saved the life of Bohemians goalkeeper Martin Berkovec. Kone gave the opposing player first aid treatment after Berkovec was knocked unconscious in a collision with a team-mate. “I can’t stand there, watching someone suffocate, without doing something. I just can’t,” Kone told FIFA.com. “I didn’t even think about it.” The forward says this is the fourth time he has administered life-saving first aid on the football pitch - twice in Africa and once in Thailand.
