09.11.2009 - The flight from Gran Ca­naria to Madrid had to be diverted to Jérez in southern Spain when the passenger became seriously ill. The doctor and physio of the second division side, who had played against Las Palmas the previous night, reacted quickly to the incident, admin­istering the German tablets and setting up a drip to keep him stable until he could be evacuated to an ambulance. “We didn’t understand him because he spoke no English and we did what we could to work out what had happened to him. The pilot asked us our opinion on whether we should divert and we felt it was urgent enough to war­rant the change in plan” said the doctor afterwards.

The club contacted the hospital later in the day to check on the patient’s progress.
