Glenn Hoddle ‘seriously ill’ after collapsing at TV 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 pundit after his last managerial job at Wolverhampton Wanderers in 2006.
