Harry Redknapp’s invitation to fan who helped save Fabrice Muamba
HARRY REDKNAPP says he wants to invite heroic Tottenham fan Dr Andrew Deaner to the club’s training ground and shake him by the hand.
Spurs are planning a special ‘thank you’ for Dr Deaner after he ran from the crowd to help save Fabrice Muamba’s life on Saturday night.
The Daily Express exclusively identified Dr Deaner as the man who made his way on to the pitch from Tottenham’s East Stand after Muamba collapsed.

His intervention has been hailed as potentially life-saving after he aided Muamba’s treatment, then insisted the Bolton player was taken straight to the London Chest Hospital and travelled with him in the ambulance.
It would be great to get Dr Deaner down here at some stage

“It would be great to get Dr Deaner down here at some stage,” said Redknapp. “Of course I would like to shake him by the hand.”
