Ugo Ehiogu

Truly shocking news; woke up this morning and was desperately hoping the twitter rumours were false but deep down i knew they must be true

RIP Ugo:(
 
Back in the day him and Southgate were the two defenders I always hope we would sign every summer and it never happened. What a pairing they were, massive mountain of a man and a top class defender.
 
Shocking news! Woke up today expecting/hoping to hear that he was recovering only to hear the tragic news. Thoughts go out to his family. 44 is no age.

I know it is not a time for laughing, but I did have to kind of chuckle at Ossie's (presumably unintentional) tweet-typo :
My most sincere and deepest condolences to the family and friends of Hugo. Still in shock. RIP Hugo.

I thought that was maybe just what he called him in his endearing 'in the cup for Totting-ham' way (not really)
 
It's just...hard to stomach, and I feel immensely sad about the pain his family will be feeling, as well as the pain those who knew him will be feeling.

A cardiac arrest ultimately doesn't care about your age - it is rarer the younger and healthier you are (And Ugo was definitely healthier than the average 40-something based on his profession alone), but it can never be fully prevented.

RIP, Ugo.

As is to be expected, there are lots messages & kind words of condolences being sent from within the football world.
The following are a few from our youth players, past and present, which I think are very eloquent and speak volumes about the type of person Ugo obviously was for them :

KWP : You were like father figure to us all. Thank you for everything you've taught us on & off the pitch. RIP Ugo, you will be missed

Charlie Ownes : Rest In Peace gaffer

Josh Onomah : Way more than just a coach, a father figure as well! Done so much for all of us boys. RIP Ugo. See you soon

Shaq Coulthirst : One Of The Nicest Men To Learn From. A Lot Of Good Memories. Rest Up Ugo

Shayon Harrison : One of the most genuine, and caring people I've ever met. An honour to have been taught by you, not only as a player, but as a person.

Shilow Tracey : Rest in peace Ugo glad to have been taught by you! Great man, great player. learnt a lot

Luke Amos : Lost for words. Thank you for everything Ugo

Luke McGee : So sad to hear the news this morning. Blessed to have worked with and learnt off both on and off the pitch. A true Gent. RIP Ugo

Brings a lump to the throat and a tear to the eye.

Anthony Georgiou: Learnt a lot from an amazing manager player and person. From his first day here he always was there to talk to help and make you smile. rip

Ryan Mason: Words can't explain how devastated I am to hear the news of Ugo. He had a huge influence on the young lads at Spurs while I was there. I can't speak highly enough of him. All of my love and thoughts go out to his family and friends at this difficult time.

Ledley King: So shocked & saddened to hear the news this morning of @UgoEhiogu passing away. My thoughts & prayers are with his family at this time

Erik Lamela: So sad to hear about Ugo, my condolences to his family and friends. Rest in peace Ugo

Gary Lineker: Dreadful news that Ugo Ehiogu has passed away. So young, so sad, such a lovely guy. #RIPUgo
 
I almost cried at work and said to some guy "there's going to be a minute silence at the game tomorrow" (he's going on a corporate invite from a work thing) and the prick said "why? He only taught the under 23s". Insensitive cnut.
 
RIP. Another Nigerian related football death - Stephen Keshi, Amodu and now Ehiogu!! Damn!! All coaches. What is going on!
