The legend of England Stuart Pearce finds the member of the cabin crew who helped save his life when Flight had to make an emergency landing – and reveals that his wife thought he had “ fixed ”

Stuart Pearce had an emotional meeting with one of the staff of the cabin crew who helped his fear of worrying health at the beginning of the month.

The 62 -year -old was not well on the return flight to London on March 2 after attending the Rugby League match in Las Vegas between Wigan Warriors and Warrington Wolves.

The Virgin plane had an emergency landing in Newfoundland after Pearce fell ill on board.

The former left back recovered and even was on the comments functions for the 2-0 victory of England over Albania in the weeks that followed.

Monday morning, Pearce and his wife Carol made an appearance on ITV to discuss the disturbing test and thank the staff who helped the situation.

Explaining the situation, Pearce said: “We went to Vegas for five days for rugby. We are the Warrington Wolves fans, so we went out to watch them play Wigan.

“On the way back to the airport, my chest was a little tight, a little heavy. Thought it could be indigestion or something of this nature. It was as if someone was sitting on my chest, if you wish.

When asked if he had already experienced problems with his heart before, Pearce replied: “Nothing at all (previous medical conditions). History with my family, nothing at all … I don’t drink, I don’t smoke.

He also recalled: “They took care of us, made us advance on the plane. Caught up with me an ECG machine. My heart rate at rest was 155 bpm … I have never experienced anything like this …

“They connected with the doctors, sent all the readings and hung me for oxygen.”

In a surprise for Pearce, the ITV crew then released the edge agent Zoe Anderson who was there at the time to help the former boss of England.

After entering the set, she had a warm embrace with Pearce who said: “Delighted to see you!”. His wife looked visibly emotional while the staff member thanked.

Anderson, according to his profile on LinkedIn, worked as an integrated manager in Virgin for nine years. Before that, she worked Eastern Airways for a year.

Explaining her side in history, she said: “We are trained to face these situations. We are going through a fairly extensive training, so when things like this happen, we are ready to face it.

“I sat with Stuart and I did the initial evaluation because sometimes with chest pain, it could be something simple. But after talking to Stuart, he started to raise alarm ringtone.

“We had Stuart connected to an ECG instructor. I think we are the only airline in the United Kingdom to have this equipment, so we were able to send this directly to the doctor.

“My colleague Callum read when I was in the cockpit to talk to doctors – so we had all the information to relay in both directions. When we were told that they were abnormal, we made the decision that we did not want to be halfway from the Atlantic. ”

The plane was believed to be 30,000 feet when his illness caused a change of plan.

Make a last reflection on the incident, Pearce said: “There were a lot of fans of the rugby league there, so I think they had a little sympathy with me because I was one of them!

“I was in and out of the conscience and the next thing that I know that we land in Canada. I was trying to sleep it. ”
