Ugo Ehiogu's Poignant Final Tweet Says Everything About Him
Posted Saturday, April 22, 2017 by thesportbible.com
His final Tweet spoke volumes of what kind of man Ugo Ehiogu was.
The former Premier League defender Ehiogu tragically died on Friday morning after collapsing at Tottenham's training centre.
The Spurs under-23 coach received medical treatment on-site before being rushed into hospital.
However, sadly, doctors were unable to save him. He was just 44.
Though while his decorated playing career will be cherished, it was his final social media activity which proved poignant.
He posted the following message; "Gave a homeless girl £10 last night in Dalston.She didn't ask or beg.Random impulsive act from me. Not gona lie. Felt good. #dosomethingking"
