dounavilla Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Apparent heart attack. Report here. Sorry for short link. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/39660196 Former England and Aston Villa defender Ugo Ehiogu is in hospital after collapsing at Tottenham's training centre on Thursday. The 44-year-old, who is Spurs' Under-23s coach, received medical treatment on site being transferred to hospital by ambulance, the Premier League club confirmed. "Everyone at the club sends their best wishes to Ugo and his family," Tottenham added in a statement. Ehiogu has been at Spurs since 2014. He made over 200 appearances for Aston Villa between 1991 and 2000 before spending seven years at Middlesbrough. Ehiogu, who was capped four times by England, also played for West Brom, Leeds, Rangers and Sheffield United before retiring in 2009. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyp102 Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Such a young age and from an ex pro athlete you'd think his heart would be strong. Wish him all the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted April 20, 2017 Moderator Share Posted April 20, 2017 Cracking player for us (other than his first game v Norwich) and really nice bloke. He was an unbelievable fit guy as well. Speedy recovery big fella Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted April 20, 2017 Moderator Share Posted April 20, 2017 I've got a shirt at home with his name on the back; loved the big fella. A genuine nice bloke by all accounts too. I hope he's well soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was an unbelievable fit guy as well. Speedy recovery big fella I recall that Norwich game well. Big Ron was his gaffer then and coined the phrase, "Having a Ugo" for anyone who cocked up in training or had a bad game. That was great man management by Ron, making a joke of it and in doing so helping him to quickly move on. And move on from it he did, a great defender in a much happier era for us. Get well soon big fella. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markavfc40 Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Remember watching his debut against Norwich and thinking he was way out of his depth. How wrong I was as he was an excellent defender and was a rock alongside Macca and Southgate. Shocking if it is a heart attack at 44 and puts things into perspective for me as I am only a year younger. Good luck to the big fella. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just moved an Easter egg out of reach! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
