Georgian footballer Luka wins FIFA Fair Play Award for saving opponent's life

  /  StanLee

Georgian footballer Luka Lochoshvili has been honoured with the FIFA Fair Play Award!

Luka made a life-saving intervention during an Austrian Bundesliga match last year.

Lochoshvili - who was playing for Wolfsberger - acted decisively after Austria Vienna's Georg Teigi was knocked unconscious following a collision, clearing the defender's airways after he swallowed his tongue. Thanks to Lochoshvili's actions, Tiegi regained consciousness and he was then treated at a local hospital. He has since made a full recovery.
