Very common in the 40's it seems. I've had 3 friends suffer midnight heart attacks and die in the past few years, all early 40s, all outwardly healthy. It's about that time that undiagnosed congenital heart issues can easily rear their heads i'm toldSad new and can't believe an heart attack at that age specially with how fit he was.
Thoughts go out to family and friends.....
I understand what you're saying, but I think the game becomes more important. It's a tribute, a way of showing what kind of club Spurs is and what those players who worked with him and Poch have learned.I went to bed and woke up checking the news, because I didn't think this was straightforward. Not seeing any news made me think it was good news. Then, I got a text from a friend, who was at school with him. Apparently, Ugo was a Spurs fan as a school kid, so he was back at his spiritual home. It's sad that it's only after they have gone that you find out what a good human being someone was, but that's the way of good human beings. Tomorrow doesn't seem so important, but I hope we embody the style he was trying to inculcate in the youngsters. Pochettino wouldn't have entrusted them to him had he not been sure of his qualities. What we feel can be nothing compared to the loss that his loved ones are having to endure, and I wish them all the love and courage in this.
RIP.
Sadly we're all going to die of something and 44 isn't freakishly young to have a heart attack. What happened to Muamba was exceptional but this less so, thoughts with his family.Very common in the 40's it seems.
