Footballer Chris is paramedic for injured rival

As the defender told how he was in excruciating pain, assistant manager Andy Billups called for an ambulance to Mexborough Athletic Ground, where the County Senior League Premier Division game was taking place, only to be told it could take up to an hour for paramedics to attend because “they were really busy”.
