    Ex LFC player Rigobert Song has suffered a cerebral hemorrhage and is fighting for his life. He is only 40.

    I wish him all the best in his battle.

    Oh dear, any indication if it was an accident or something else?

    It doesn't sound too good.

    Don't sound good paticularly if it was hours before he found i'e' if occurred in his sleep as the amount of damage a bleed can do is horrific
    Can only hope for the best.

    He was playing when I went to my first Prem match. We beat West Ham 1-0, Neil Ruddock was playing for West Ham. Song crossed the ball and Titi Camera scored. A fond memory. Very sad to hear this news.

    Echo all of the above. He was a bit of a Sakho character back then, completely committed and enthusiastic every time he wore the shirt. All the best to him.

    Rigobert Song
    Former Cameroon international Rigobert Song has come out of a two-day coma and is set to be moved to France for further treatment.

    The 40-year-old was admitted to Yaounde Central Hospital in Cameroon on Sunday after falling unconscious.

    "He has come out of his coma and the oxygen has been disconnected," Dr Louis Joss Bitang A Mafok, director of the hospital's emergency centre confirmed.

    "His high blood pressure has returned to normal and the cerebral haemorrhage has been controlled."

    Dunno sometimes it can be that they dontvoperate and let it dissolve.

    The missus' sister's mother in law had a stroke and old **** was supposedly bound to be a goner cos the hospital she was in woyld not transfer her to neurological hospital due to risk of transfer

    If it can heal and dissolve... we she woke up and was completely unaffected. It was frankly astounding.

    You never know. Every case is different.

    Ex-Liverpool defender Rigobert Song is NOT dead despite reports he had passed away from a stroke

    Rigobert Song is NOT dead, despite reports that he had passed away coming out of Cameroon that he passed away this week.
    The former Liverpool and West Ham defender was taken seriously ill on Sunday when he slipped into a coma in his home country.

    He was taken to Yaounde Central Hospital in Cameroon after he fell unconscious. He was in a coma for two days before he was transferred to a hospital in France for further treatment.

    He was seen waving at fans outside the Yaounde facility as he was taken to the airport for the journey to France.

    Yaounde Emergency Centre director Dr. Louis Joss Bitang A Mafok said the 40-year-old had suffered a "cerebral hemorrhage".

    Cameroon Health Minister Andre Mama Fouda told the press: "Song has departed to Pitie Salpetriere hospital in Paris, where he will continue treatment. I am grateful to the Head of State for instructing the government to take the necessary measures to ensure that Song recovers.

    "We hail the professionalism of medical doctors in Cameroon and we continue to pray for a safe trip for Rigobert Song and that he should recover very fast."

    On Tuesday, Dr Mafok said Song had "come out of his coma and the oxygen has been disconnected".

    He added: "His high blood pressure has returned to normal and the cerebral haemorrhage has been controlled".


    Of course, Alex Song, the former Arsenal, Barcelona and West Ham midfielder, is not Rigobert's brother, but his nephew.

    No other outlet reported the news and now African sports journalist Gary Al-Smith, who has worked for the BBC and CNN among others, reported this morning that Song is NOT dead and was even able to speak.

    You not put that any better dribs?

    Something along the lines of "sadly there is UNCONFIRMED reports he may have passed away".
