Was queuing for the train after the game when this happened. He said he needed to make a call and his phone battery had died!

Make sure it's genuinely a phone and ask for his phone while he has yours?

Make the call for him and put the phone on loudspeaker so he can talk and hear.
This way the phone never leaves your hand.

Tell them to ditch the Iphone and get something decent where you can have 2 (or more) batteries which you can interchange and not run out of battery.

Don't leave us hanging! What did you do? Refuse? Or hand your phone over so he could make his call?

If only I had thought of that!
I await Ernest's thread about dealing with unhelpful fellow Albion fan while he tried to make contact about a family emergency / transfer 'sauce'...

Not seen such Bravery!
Just say no, and look at him like he's from Mars.
Alternatively pretend you have no credit?

I did this. He looked surprised that anyone would say no to his request to lend a phone to a stranger in the pitch dark.

I was enjoying a CHICKEN and SAUSAGE (weird spicy sausage though not like the (whatever pub it is does the breakfast)'s bangers) pie WAITING for my SAUCE to tell me why BIRDCUTT wasn't in the SQUAD but I'd left my IPHONE's spare BATTERY in my COAT pocket and someone had STOLEN said COAT so I couldn't PHONE the FUZZ or my SAUCE so I asked this WEIRD looking SCARFER.................

I was working in a shop a few weeks ago and a fellow came in, very short of breath and gasped "use your phone". Without really thinking iI handed him one. He then rang someone and arranged to be picked up from the pub 300 yards up the road.
Next time I think I will demand payment first. If he calls an ambulance I will give back the £1.00

This happened to me the other week. I gave them my phone, they made a phone call, we had a bit of a chat. I grant that if someone seems dodgy then trust your instincts and keep your phone (actually in my case they were dodgy, but not in a phone stealing way) otherwise why not make the world a slightly happier rather than more miserable place just because there are a few complete googles about.
