Robinson even admitted Richardson's heroics have caused him to reflect on his own ability to potentially react to a similar situation.

"We have equipment and we have trained medical staff but would I have had the understanding to deal with that myself?

"I have done a bit of training, like most coaches, but we have reviewed things here and talked about it a lot.

"We send our best wishes to Charlie; some people here have worked or played with him and say he is a top lad so we hope all goes well for him."
