The Bolton Wanderers doctor who helped save the life of footballer Fabrice Muamba has lost his job.
Club medic Jonathan Tobin dashed onto the pitch and fought to keep the player alive after he collapsed during an FA Cup game at Tottenham last year.
But now the former GP has been told his services are no longer needed at Championship club Bolton, who just missed out on a place in the play-offs on the last day of the season on Saturday.
Muamba's heart stopped for 78 minutes and Dr Tobin was by his side throughout.
Medical staff worked on the player for 48 minutes between his collapse and his arrival at the London Chest Hospital, where they spent another 30 minutes fighting to get his heart working on its own.
The England Under-21 midfielder needed 15 defibrillator shocks to get his heart started and Dr Tobin later revealed he feared the player would not survive.
