stewaj3 1,446 Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 A player who i really admired from his boro and villa days, when he signed for the famous, i thought he would go on to be a great signing as it was exactly what we needed. Whilst there's s no doubting his best footballing days were in the past, he made the most telling of contributions. That goal at that time in that game, felt like roy of the rovers stuff and i have no doubt it was the real start of smiths second spell. It gave us confidence as a side and for the remainder of Walters second spell we never looked back. Thank you for the memories ugo and RIP big man.

beechwood bear 559 Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Really hard to believe that a fit,young man could just pass away like that. Rest easy Ugo. You will live on in the hearts of many. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cr3_bear 14,830 Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 When the time is right the club should invite his wife and children up for a game . Let them see how well he is regarded by us Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Courtyard Bear 41,357 Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 6 hours ago, Aubie92 said: I'm sure Dom Ball said last year that Ugo pulled him aside and was putting across to him how much he enjoyed playing for Rangers. He came across as someone who realised how fortunate he was to get paid handsomely to play football, and didn't forget that the fans are the life blood of the game. Don't want to see anyone die that young, but it's gut wrenching when the person who dies is, by all accounts, a good person, and leaves a family behind. I'm not a Spurs man, by any means, but hopefully Rangers and Spurs can win the respective cups and pay tribute to Ugo. (Would be nice if a testimonial game or tournament could be organised featuring involvement from his former clubs.) Would be better against Villa, that is the club he is most remembered with, anyway it's a brilliant idea and I'm sure someone somewhere in football is getting a game organised.

delamonty 992 Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Simply cannot believe this. RIP big UGO. One of my best memories in recent years was the big man's cracking overhead vs them.

Don54 25,517 Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Sad news, even though he only played 12 games, man was a legend for that goal against them. R.I.P. Ugo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GOAT 30,449 Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 I was busy at work and didn't even know about this until I got in at 5. Absolutely gutted to hear this news. Only 44 years old aswell.
