Dom_Wren Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 What a bloody fantastic player, didnt know the man, but when you look at the tributes, seems he was a better man than a player, and thats a rarity these days in football. RIP Big man, HEITS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NurembergVillan Posted April 21, 2017 Moderator Share Posted April 21, 2017 This was his last tweet, from a few weeks ago. Be nice if everyone on VT could "do something kind" this weekend, in his memory. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flamingsombrero Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Heartbreaking, one of my favourites growing up. I remember as a kid being dragged to some ballet performance thing that my little sister was in. Spotted Ugo at the intermission (turned out a relative of his was in one of the other classes I think) and got to meet him and get an autograph. Still got it somewhere and still makes me smile that I've got a ballet ticket with Ugo Ehiogu's signature on the back 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshVilla Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Quality player and quality human being RIP three legends taken from us in the space of a year. Just seen Merse reaction With his shaky sobriety in the past i hope this sad news doesn't cause him to fall off the wagon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the best tribute to the man would be to give him a huge round of applause, chant his name throughout the match and help guide the team to 3 points in his honour. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maqroll Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Really saddened by this, he was in the Villa side that I first fell in love with. Great player, real professional, good guy. R.I.P, Ugo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is the player I would associate closest with Ugo, in playing terms. His memories of Ugo would be worth listening to. Would be much appreciated if someone could find a bigger/better quality version of this - one of my favourite Villa photos, taken, of course, when the penalty shoot out versus Bolton at Wembley was won in the FA Cup semi final, 2000. I have found this Hogso, not sure if it has been posted yet, or if you have already seen it? Southgate on Ugo England manager Gareth Southgate has paid tribute to Ugo Ehiogu and spoken of the "true partnership" he shared with his former Aston Villa and Middlesbrough team-mate. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyp102 Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 (edited) Lucky enough to grow up with him, God and Southgate forming a defence (with Barry joining later on). Absolutely gutted. Heart goes out to his family. Such a young age. Football community will pull together in this on Sunday and give him a good send off.
