“While I was playing for Kotoku Royals, an opposing player collapsed in our FA Cup game and after some time, I was able to revive him.
“Another happened when we played Mighty Jets.
“At Olympics, Paul Fiatsi dislocated his bone and I was able to relocate the bone for him.
His team mates appreciate his efforts and respect him accordingly.
