He said: "A huge thank you to Richard Payne and an unknown Saints fan tonight for literally saving my dad’s life.
"Also the guy who was comforting me - all true Saints tonight.

Southampton forward Jay Rodriguez confident of finding best form
Show/hide article…
Jay Rodriguez is confident he will rediscover his goalscoring touch after passing up the chance to score in Southampton’s Europa League defeat at Inter Milan on Thursday.
The forward was put through on goal in the ninth minute at the San Siro, with the game goalless, but hesitated before losing possession when well placed to score.
Rodriguez has been dogged by several injuries since recovering from anterior cruciate ligament damage he suffered away at Manchester City in 2014.
But the 27-year-old insisted his fitness was not a concern and hopes a run of matches in the first-team will see him regain his very best form.
“I feel fine, I feel great,” Rodriguez, who has scored 31 goals in 96 appearances for the Saints, said.
"I just want more and more of it. That’s what I need and I’m sure the goals will come. I just need to keep my fitness and keep on the field.
"I need regular games. That’s the main thing. I need a run of games to find my form and the goals will come.
"It’s one if those things, it just happens, but I’m working hard to keep extra fit and I’m sure I will be.
"I cut inside and I should have squared it or taken the shot early. It was just one of those things. I should have decided earlier what I was going to do.
"I’m not happy. I’m always like this after a game if I haven’t scored.
“We came here to win and we had the chances to and, although we’re disappointed, we can’t keep our heads down.”
Inter claimed all three points thanks to Antonio Candreva’s second-half strike, but were forced to play the final 13 minutes with ten men after Marcelo Brozovic was sent off for two bookable offences.
It also gave Inter their first points of the competition and left Group I wide open when the Italian side - who visit St Mary’s in a fortnight - had been at risk of elimination.
Asked about the competitive nature of the group, Rodriguez said: "We know that but we’ve got home games now and that’ll be a strong point for us. We have to focus on the next game.
“It’s a proud moment (to play at the San Siro) but it doesn’t really mean anything when you lose. We have to now focus on (the Manchester City fixture) on Sunday.”
There’s something for everyone on Sky Sports Mix this weekend. Live F1 on Friday, Bournemouth v Spurs on Saturday, while on Sunday you can watch Feyenoord v Ajax, Red Bull 3x3 Basketball and NFL RedZone!

Southampton youth can take heart from Sam McQueen’s rise under Puel
Show/hide article…
It was a brutal putdown designed to have maximum impact on the Southampton hierarchy and supporters alike. An unexpected sideswipe at the latest graduates of the club’s highly-acclaimed youth academy, dished out by Ronald Koeman in the middle of an otherwise unspectacular news conference to a stunned audience.
“I wasn’t impressed,” said then-manager Koeman when asked for his assessment of a recent under-21 game he had watched January 2015. “I look to the development of young players and they still have a lot to learn and they are still not on the level that is needed for the Premier League. It is more difficult to get into the first-team of Southampton than it was four years ago.”
The reason behind what appeared a calculated and needless attack was, at the time, Koeman was coming under pressure from those above him to promote more homegrown talent into his first-team.
It was a mantra laid down by the late Swiss owner Markus Liebherr upon rescuing Southampton from near extinction, and is something that daughter Katharina has been keen to continue after assuming control at the St Mary’s Stadium.
The issue had already reportedly caused a training ground rift between Koeman and Saints’ sporting director Les Reed, who has carved out his reputation on the development of young players, and had been threatening to boil over when the Dutchman let rip at an unsuspecting press pack.
Koeman left for Everton a few months later and, whatever his motivation, the amazing rise of local lad Sam McQueen over the past seven days has made the Dutchman look more than a little foolish.
When Koeman’s successor Claude Puel saw both first XI left-backs Ryan Bertrand and Matt Targett wiped out by injury on the eve of one of the biggest games in Saints’ history (against Inter Milan in the Europa League on Thursday) he could have been forgiven for fearing the worst.
However the canny Frenchman knew he had an unpolished diamond waiting in the wings in McQueen, whom he had spent the summer converting from a midfielder to a defender. Puel helped hone Thierry Henry’s goal-scoring instincts as Monaco coach back in 1999, so knows a thing or two about young players himself.
McQueen, among those players Koeman had so publically slated, has waited patiently for his chance to follow in the footsteps of the likes of Gareth Bale, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Theo Walcott from Saints’ fertile production line into the first-team.
That opportunity arrived when England U21 left-back Targett hobbled off in last weekend’s 3-1 win over Burnley and the unassuming McQueen grabbed it with both hands, producing an a cool defensive display belying his tender 21 years that even saw him lay on an assist by winning a penalty coolly converted by the in-form Charlie Austin.
Fortune favours the brave and McQueen once again produced a fearless performance in the hotbed of the San Siro on Thursday night when Southampton were unlucky to fall to a 1-0 Europa League defeat after dominating Italian giants Inter Milan for long periods.
But, judging by the way he fronted up to the travelling British media following the defeat in Milan and batted away any leading questions like a seasoned pro, there is nothing to suggest it will not be the same story when McQueen comes up against Manchester City’s multi-talented team on Sunday.
His emergence from obscurity has not only made Koeman eat his words but it will also provide hope to the other Southampton young guns so harshly dismissed by the Barcelona legend.
If Southampton can take anything from Koeman’s controversial summer defection it is that their kids are in safe hands under Puel and it would be no surprise to see more of the club’s talented youth following in McQueen’s footsteps.

Southampton striker Jay Rodriguez insists goals are coming
Show/hide article…
Jay Rodriguez insisted his fitness was not a concern after passing up the chance to give Southampton the lead during Thursday night’s 1-0 Europa League defeat at Inter Milan.
The forward was put through on goal after nine minutes, with the score at 0-0, but hesitated before losing possession when well placed to score. He demonstrated a similar lack of confidence later on, and was substituted as Saints fell behind.
Rodriguez, back making regular appearances having suffered anterior cruciate ligament damage in 2014 and then experiencing several setbacks en route to recovery, spoke of his frustration and belief that he should have scored, but was adamant his fitness was not preventing him from rediscovering top form.
‘I feel fine, I feel great,’ the 27-year-old said. 'I just want more and more of it. That’s what I need and I’m sure the goals will come. I just need to keep my fitness and keep on the field.
'I need regular games. That’s the main thing. I need a run of games to find my form and the goals will come.
'It’s one of those things, it just happens, but I’m working hard to keep extra fit and I’m sure I will be.
'I cut inside and I should have squared it or taken the shot early. It was just one of those things. I should have decided earlier what I was going to do.
'I’m not happy. I’m always like this after a game if I haven’t scored.
‘We came here to win and we had the chances to and, although we’re disappointed, we can’t keep our heads down.’
The result meant that Southampton, having hoped to extend their lead at the top of Group K and taken a significant step towards reaching the knockout stage, instead slid to third.
It also gave Inter their first points of the competition and left the pool wide open when the Italian side - who visit St Mary’s in a fortnight - had been at risk of elimination.
Asked about the competitive nature of the group, Rodriguez said: 'We know that but we’ve got home games now and that’ll be a strong point for us. We have to focus on the next game.
‘It’s a proud moment (to play at the San Siro) but it doesn’t really mean anything when you lose. We have to now focus on (the Manchester City fixture) on Sunday.’
