RIP Ugo Ehiogu

[robfosters]

The former Villa and England defender Ugo Ehiogu has died from a cardiac arrest he suffered yesterday at spurs training ground.

44 is no age. Absolutely tragic. I thought he was a great defender in his heyday.

Life is so fragile.

Can happen to absolutely anyone

RIP.

 

[McBain]

Ah no way

Saw the report yesterday he had been rushed to hospital but was hoping it wasn't as bad as it sounded.

RIP indeed.

RIP Ugo

This is ridiculous, he's the same age as me and I would imagine way fitter than my lard arse!!

Remember him being a good defender for Villa back in the day and if it wasn't for Adams, Southgate etc. would have more than the 4 England caps he has.

Sad to see, I remember everyone attempting to say his name when trading football stickers at junior school!

 

[Mr-White]

wow that happened so quickly

 

[Cosimo]

Tragic. RIP Ugo

[iamtheoneneo]

When I was a kid and still into football and villa he was my idol, absolute legend at the club. Very sad

Saw the reports yesterday that he collapsed - didn't think it was so serious at the time. Terrible new

RIP . 44 yrs old, same as me .

Very sad, scary really. 44 is no age, and I'm sure he was fitter than the vast majority of men the same age.
