Bridgford Ram Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 I heard on the radio that he had collapsed, the news he has died is still a shock though. Really sad someone so young and healthy has died in this way. Also he is a player I remember breaking through at West Brom and Villa. Good player.

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.
