Lesley Robertson - September winner
On 17 September 2000, shortly after 1pm, Mrs Robertson was in Farren Road near to the junction with Hipswell Highway when she became aware of a woman who was clearly in a state of distress.
She then saw a man who was staggering about in the road and obviously in need of help. She quickly discovered that the man had suffered a severance of his carotid artery.
She applied pressure to the artery, and continued to do so until an ambulance arrived. The man was taken to hospital, where, fortunately, a surgeon was able to perform an operation to stem the bleeding.
There is no doubt that the skill of the surgeon would have been in vain, and the man would have died, had it not been for Mrs Robertson's calm and public-spirited action.
Bob Brolly - October winner
Bob Brolly is a very caring person, who works tirelessly for charity.
He successfully uses his position as a radio presenter to raise awareness of charities, such as the plight of Romanian children and for the Oncology Unit at Walsgrave Hospital. He has supported many other charities in different ways, including Omagh Victim Support and Leukaemia Research, through fundraising activities over a number of years and continues to do so.
He gives generously of his time with lots of energy to help those in desperate need.
He is indeed a worthy Citizen of Coventry.
Tony Lee - November winner
Tony Lee thought of nothing else but saving the life of the boy next door, when fire broke out in a house in Thornhill Road, Coventry in July 2001.
A family man himself, he bravely, and without thought for himself, broke the door down to gain entry and rescued the five year-old boy, carrying him outside to safety.
He again entered the house, with total disregard for his own welfare, and led two adults to safety. His quick thinking was applauded by the Fire Service, who regarded him as an 'absolute hero'.
