Glenn Hoddle ‘seriously ill’ after collapsing at BT Sport studios
Glenn Hoddle has been taken to hospital after falling ill at BT Sport’s studios. The former England manager was a guest on Soccer With Sav and collapsed after the show.
The BT Sport presenter Jake Humphrey tweeted: “Our friend & colleague Glenn Hoddle was taken seriously ill at the BT Sport studio this morning. For that reason there will be no @btsportscore - but we will be live as usual for the 5.30 ko at Leicester. Everyone of us is right with you Glenn, sending love & strength.”
Hoddle, who was celebrating his 61st birthday, played for Tottenham, Monaco, Swindon and Chelsea in a playing career spanning two decades. He scored eight goals in 53 games for England and managed the national team at the 1998 World Cup before pursuing a career as a pundit after his last managerial job at Wolverhampton Wanderers in 2006.
Former teammates and colleagues in the media sent well wishes to Hoddle and his family.
Hoddle’s former England teammate and BT Sport colleague Gary Lineker tweeted: “Hugely worrying news that Glenn Hoddle collapsed at the BT studios earlier. Thoughts are with him and his family. Come on Glenn.”
Chelsea, who Hoddle made 39 appearances for as a player and took over as player-manager in 1993, tweeted: “Our thoughts are with former Blues boss Glenn Hoddle, who has been taken seriously ill on his 61st birthday. We’re right with you, Glenn.”
Tottenham Hospur, where he also worked as player and manager, tweeted: “Everybody at the Club sends their best wishes to @GlennHoddle for a full and speedy recovery after he was taken ill this morning.”
The Football Association, via the England team account, wrote: “Worrying news. Get well soon, Glenn Hoddle, we’re all behind you.”
According to Hoddle’s official Twitter feed, he was scheduled to analyse the 3pm kick-off between Brighton & Hove Albion and Wolves for BT Sport as part of their live Score show.
BT Sport presenter Mark Pougatch said: “You will understand why there’s no BT Sport Score this afternoon. All our thoughts are with Glenn Hoddle and his family.”
The Brighton manager, Chris Hughton was Hoddle’s long-time team-mate at Tottenham and served as first-team coach during his spell as manager, said: “It’s very sad. Glenn is somebody I’ve know from the age of 12 or 13. He was a schoolboy at Tottenham when I was there and he was the star player we all looked up to and could never get near.
“And of course I worked under him when he was manager. My thoughts and prayers are with him. He’s got a strong character and I’m sure he’ll battle through.”
