The Newcastle United supporter that collapsed on the terraces during the club's Premier League match against Tottenham Hotspur has been discharged from hospital.
The match at St. James' Park on Octover 17 was suspended for 20 minutes when Alan Smith suffered a cardiac arrest.
Tottenham defender Sergio Reguilon alerted the referee to the medical emergency while teammate Eric Dier sprinted to the touchline medics to indicate a defibrillator was required.
That allowed a defibrillator to be used after Accident and Emergency consultant Dr Tom Prichard - a fan close by - had performed CPR and used the defibrillator before paramedics arrived.
In a statement from Newcastle which provided an update on the condition of fan, it was revealed he is targeting a return to the club's hiome ground for either the visit of Norwich City on November 30 or the clash with Burnley on December 4.
Smith required four stents to be inserted to aid his recovery, with son Paul describing the medical staff as "amazing" during his father's stay at the city's Freeman Hospital.
The Magpies supporter was released on Tuesday and will now spend the next two to four weeks building up his strength at home.
A statement on Newcastle's website read: "He is looking forward to seeing family and friends over the next few days and sends his appreciation to everyone who has wished him well.
"His local Constitutional and Unionist Club in Forest Hall, of which Mr Smith is president, will be launching a fundraising event from November 13 to purchase a defibrillator, having seen how important they can be."
