Three Town fans who helped save the life of 91-year-old West Brom fan, who collapsed out side Portman Road following the 1-1 draw between the two teams last month.
Vic Stirrup collapsed as he made his way back to his coach following the game on the 26th of January, three Town fans rushed to his aid, keeping him comfortable until paramedics could get him to hospital. One of the three fans has already been contacted and now Vic's son Andy wishes to find the other two.
Andy said: "Obviously my family are extremely grateful to these three fans.
"I would love to be able to thank for them personally for their actions and quick-thinking, as would my dad.
"Many football fans get a bad press so it's nice to know there are decent supporters out there who look out for each other.
"I wasn't at the game, but I hear it was bitterly cold so for them to give up their coats to help my dad was a tremendous gesture."
Vic made a full recovery in hospital but was unable to make West Brom's game against Plymouth on Tuesday night.
