Quite a shock, I liked his name how do you pronounce it Uh-ho Eh Hih-Ho? Good for gargling to. Anyway, the main thing is its very bad news for his family who cant have been expecting this for a young fit sportsman. very sad.

Ive never heard it said like that.

I'm pretty sure John Motson and Barry Davies etc just said it how it's spelt but without the u at the end of Ehiogu. I'm not sure if they're right mind.
