Everyone, of course, screamed and shouted. We saw him crawl off the pitch on all fours, and then the players crowded round, and we started to have doubts. It only boiled the anger inside her. Riley was the referee. Bryan English was the club doctor. Riley had blown for a free-kick to Chelsea and was talking to Hunt as he beckoned English on to the field of play.
TV coverage began to pore over every angle. Riley says he had a sixth sense that Cech was badly injured and believes he acted with a speed and intuition that was uncommon at the time. Immediately, you want to get someone on to look at him and treat him. English sprinted on to the field, but initially, there were few clues as to the severity of the injury.
He stopped play immediately, anxious for Cech to receive treatment, and ordered stretcher-bearers to remove him from the pitch by the shortest route. An FA spokesperson said normal protocol would have been to go around the perimeter of the pitch. And you know the worldwide audience has increased, as has the attention, and that brings extra responsibility on refs and players. Incidents are examined, debated and discussed. Because of that, things change for the better.
That is exactly what happened. Riley, who is general manager of the Professional Game Match Officials Board, ensures different protocol is followed. Doctors and physios are allowed to come on to the field of play without instruction from the referee because of what happened with Cech.
English was instrumental in ensuring that the FA started a compulsory head-injury course for club medical staff. They want to go back on to the pitch. English had to return to the pitch because Paulo Ferreira hurt his elbow.
Why is it not around? Therefore, they were waiting for another to come from the hospital, so they were delaying it. Both parties were blaming each other.
Reading and SCAS state Chelsea initially decided the injury was not serious enough to require an ambulance. Reading said it was 24 minutes after the injury when Chelsea asked paramedics to call for an ambulance, which was done at p. He was later transferred to the specialist unit in Oxford.
The contention is that Chelsea asked for an ambulance to be called. Chelsea say they asked paramedics to call for one at p. Mourinho, with the belligerence for which he is renowned, stated that it took 30 minutes. It was these pieces that threatened his life. One wrong move, and the fragments were in danger of lacerating or bruising the brain and damaging blood vessels.
This can also crush soft tissue, which can be fatal. When it became clear following a brain scan at the Royal Berkshire that the broken pieces of bone were more than five millimeters deeper than the skull, the decision was made to operate.
He was transferred to Oxford at 1 a. He couldn't leave the dressing room properly. He had to go in a wheelchair in a lift, and he left the ground 30 minutes after my doctor was calling for an urgent ambulance.
If my goalkeeper dies in that dressing room or in that process, it's something English football has to think about. Mark Ainsworth was the officer in overall charge for the South Central Ambulance service. It is rare for emergency medical workers to be criticised for unprofessionalism and incompetence—rarer still to be accused by one of the most famous football managers in the world.
Mourinho was used to being at the centre of a media storm. Ainsworth was not. He was grilled by Sky News. But in what should have been a mismatch, Ainsworth stood firm. It was concerning. People join the ambulance service to care for patients, no matter who they are. Why did Mourinho say what he did? Chelsea have never apologised. But they got the facts wrong. According to Ainsworth, it was a breakdown in communication. This led to the delay to Cech receiving the attention Chelsea wanted.
Obviously, our focus was to treat the patient and get them to hospital as quickly as possible—that was Cech and then Cudicini after that but not so seriously. Ainsworth explains the paramedic ambulance crew at Reading sits by the away bench. It could have all been sorted out by the relevant parties face-to-face rather than the open forum of the media.

Some say Cech was never quite as good following that horrific head injury. However, arguably his greatest saves came just two weeks apart in His renowned attention to detail, studying every penalty Bayern Munich had taken since , bore dividends. Cech saved a spot-kick from Arjen Robben in extra time, before denying Ivica Olic and Bastian Schweinsteiger in the shoot-out.
No one could bear grudges against this man. To the media he was always on hand to talk when things were going awry. His ability to cope with adversity was put to the test at Chelsea for one last time in his final campaign.
