A fan was taken ill at the Hammersmith End at Craven Cottage as Fulham led Blackpool 1-0 with 16 minutes on the clock.

And as medics attended to the supporter, the referee took both teams back down the tunnel.

The fan, believed to be a male, was carried out of the ground on a stretcher.

In a tragic twist, there was a simultaneous stoppage at Oldham when a home fan needed treatment during the League Two clash against Rochdale.

Again, the players were taken off the pitch to allow the doctors to provide help.

Oldham tweeted: “Our best wishes go with the Latics fan concerned.

“A heartfelt thank you to supporters who alerted it quickly to the stewards and medical team in the Main Stand Upper.

“We will try to provide a further update but he is back responsive and receiving treatment.”

The match at Oldham resumed after a 23-minute stoppage.

These are the latest incidents involving health scares since players returned to stadiums.

Fulham ace Antonee Robinson, on international duty with USA, tweeted: “Thoughts are with the fan.

“Also, is it possible for someone to address that this seems to be happening very frequently now?”

Dr Tom Prichard helped save lives at Newcastle and Blackburn this season.

He was in the stands at St James’ Park when they faced Tottenham in October.

And three months later, he was part of the Middlesbrough medical team that came to the rescue of someone in the home end at Ewood Park on Monday night.

Incredibly, the dedicated doctor then started his 12-hour University Hospital of North Tees A&E shift at 8am on Tuesday morning.
