Togolese striker receives FIFA award for life-saving move

Francis Kone has been honoured by the world football governing body for his life-saving action

Most recently, the 26-year-old forward hit the headlines when, while playing for Slovacko last season, he reacted quickly to prevent Bohemians goalkeeper Martin Berkovec from choking after he was knocked unconscious by a collision with one of his own teammates

Kone, who currently plays for FC Zbrojovka Brno in the Czech top tier, has quite literally helped save the lives of not one, not two, not three, but four opponents over the course of his eight-year professional career.
