Probably not a better place it could have happened in terms of immediate care. Fingers crossed he is ok.

Only 44! Goodness get well soon Ugo.

It's likely HOCM, the same disorder which afflicted Fabrice Muamba. 1/500 black athletes have this mutation, which is really scary.

Wish him all the best. As many have already said, he was obviously in good hands at our club given our personnel.

Interesting stuff...
Obv we test all our players but how hard is it to screen for this sort of thing for the average joe ?

Wishing you a full and quick recovery Ugo. The team won't need any more incentive on Saturday, but I'm sure a win would aid his recovery.

Not easy. ECG picks up that something is abnormal only ~70% of the time, and after it still requires further testing.

Someone on Twitter saying he's passed away. Hopefully just BS.

The guy's claiming he knows a friend of the family. Hopefully it's bullshit, but I sense this may be truly terrible news.

Getting a horrible feeling about this.

A twitter account that seems to be a verified one that is something to do with the actor Rudolph Walker seems to be suggesting he has died.

Obviously I hope this isn't true and apologise unreservedly if it is untrue but it doesn't sound good guys.

Hoping for the best here. I really hate twitter, this dude has absolutely no right to be proclaiming his death online, true or not. Attention seeking arsehole.
