The Hampshire & Isle of Wight Air Ambulance (HIOWAA) was scrambled to Binstead this afternoon (Saturday) following an urgent medical emergency.
Emergency service personnel from the Isle of Wight Ambulance Service rushed to the village having been called at around 14:30.
Having made its way from its Southampton Airport base, the helicopter landed on the football pitch at Binstead Rec on Coniston Avenue.
An Isle of Wight Division 1 football match between Binstead & COB and Northwood St Johns was being played at the time.
After around 45-minutes on scene, the helicopter lifted off, conveying the casualty to Southampton General Hospital.
