Such a shame

 

44 years old is nothing. RIP

[Leicesterpool]

OMG what a shock, so sad and way too young. Strange thing is couple of days before he was rushed into hospital I watched an clip of him making one of his few England apparences and even scored! RIP Ugo

[RonnieTodger]

44, how tragic. RIP Ugo. 

[Jon the Hat]

RIP Ugo, thoughts with his family and friends, and those at Spurs.  A real shock, he was a well regarded coach, I think I heard on the radio he was on an FA development programme.  Always came across as a goog guy too. I remember when he and Southgate were an impressive back line at Villa, and would have been for England in times where we didn't have as much quality at the back.

[M0901]

Tragic, 44 years old. Surprising how many athletes suffer this fate.

 

Top defender in his day and obviously a well regarded football coach. R.I.P Ugo.

[Voll Blau]

Very sad. Fondly remember having him in swap for several sticker albums as a kid, always had a soft spot for him because of that.

[kushiro]

Remember him being very unlucky not to make the Euro 96 squad.

 

Both of these guys gone now. Unreal.

 

[GaelicFox]

44 no age 

 

life is short 

 

live it 

 

RIP UGO 

 

ripper of a goal he scored in the old Firm 

 

 

[Jaspa]

Name brings back memories of a semi final in the Coca Cola Cup against Villa and a Family Fun Night where Elliot was fighting to regain fitness but was clearly close to packing in.

 

Progressed to coaching at a reasonable level shows he had good application and knowledge, surely a good bloke who will be missed by Family and others. RIP Eckyogg

Sorry, Villa

[foxy boxing]

same age as me, tragic news remember seeing him play and always had trouble spelling his name!

[urban.spaceman]

Well that's bloody awful. Don't remember much about him as a player but I always remember thinking what an awesome name he had. For me and probably a lot of people of a certain age he reminds me of a classic era of football, the era that I grew up in and fell in love with the game.

Same age as me too - scary.

Good, solid pro in his day. Very sad news. RIP

[MPH]

Very very sad. If he had unknown heart issues it's amazing he managed to make it through his career unaffected.. but he was fit an healthy so it's a big shock if it was something that developed recently.

 

 

poor kids

[foxoffderby]

Shocked only a few years younger than me always rated him as a player. RIP

[iamafox]

Just goes to show how cruel life can be sometimes.

 

One minute you're coaching players, next minute you suddenly collapse and end up in hospital. Then this happens.

 

RIP

 

 

[purpleronnie]

Very sad, I saw Merson breaking down on sky sports talking about him, upsetting.

 

RIP

[SystonFox]

RIP. Solid defender. Absolutely no age whatsoever

I can't be doing with Merson but I thought it was a bit unfair of Sky to interview him just a few hours after one of his mates had died. He was obviously very, very upset and not in the right frame of mind to be interviewed. 

[Strokes]

Awful RIP
