Togolese striker Francis Kone has been honoured by Fifa for his life-saving actions in a Czech league match.
He was given a Fair Play award at the Fifa "Best" ceremony in London on Monday night.
Kone saved the life of goalkeeper Martin Berkovec back in February, after he nearly swallowed his tongue following a collision.
Slovacko's Kone acted after Berkovec had clashed with his Bohemians 1905 team-mate Daniel Krch.
He used his fingers to move Berkovec's tongue and stop him suffocating, after the player had been knocked out.

"I can't stand there, watching someone suffocate, without doing something," Kone told Fifa.com.
He said he had been involved in three similar situations before.

The former Disney star admitted that she's still looking for love and she actually uses a dating app to get dates. But she said she has no gender preference because she's simply looking for a "connection."

Lovato has lived and she's learned"
The last decade has taught me a lifetime of lessons," she said."I've learned that secrets make you sick, I'm learning how to be a voice and not a victim, I've learned sex is natural, I've learned that love is necessary, heartbreak is unavoidable and loneliness is brutal. I've learned that the key to being happy is to tell your truth, and be okay without all the answers."
