    Poor guy, he was a grafter for Villa and one of their unsung heroes when they were playing regular top half football.

    RIP Big Ugo

    He was a class player what i remember. He was like a brick wall and should have had more England caps.

    Him and Southgate were a top partnership at Villa

    So sad that someone so healthy should die so young

    One of the good guys by all accounts

    RIP

    Only my age, poor bloke.

    Like many, I remember him at Villa and then the Smoggies, but had no idea what he was up to later in life. Just had a good read up on him and seems like he had been highly instrumental in the development of young Spuds players, and more importantly just a top bloke to be around. Let alone his musical skills.

    ****ing hell. What a shambles.

    In his prime, before my time but remember the fella at Boro.

    Huge shock, awful news.

    Wish family and friends the very best.

    Great shame, and possibly a greater loss to football than we know.
