‘GOOD GUY’ HODDLE IN SERIOUS CONDITION

GLENN HODDLE remains in a serious condition after suffering a heart attack on Saturday, a spokesman for the former England manager has confirmed. However, a statement said he is ‘responding well’ to treatment after collapsing at BT Sport’s studios in London. It is understood he received CPR at the scene from sound supervisor Simon Daniels, who was credited by witnesses with saving his life. Hoddle’s spokesman said: ‘Glenn remains in a serious condition in hospital after suffering a heart attack. He continues to respond well to treatment. Doctors have advised the most important thing for Glenn is time to rest.’ Hoddle, who turned 61 on Saturday, had finished live filming on Robbie Savage’s

Saturday Morning Savage show two minutes before falling to the ground and losing consciousness. It is reported that Daniels performed the kiss of life on the former Tottenham, Monaco, Swindon and Chelsea player and that a defibrillator was also used. He was airlifted to hospital and BT’s Saturday afternoon live scores show was cancelled. Daniels tweeted: ‘Just did what was necessary to give him a fighting chance. Thoughts are with his family. It was my training as a Special Constable that paid off.’ Speaking on Sky Sports before Arsenal’s visit to Crystal Palace yesterday, Graeme Souness said: ‘I played against Glenn many times, an absolute class act. The last decade I’ve got to know him quite well through golf and he is genuinely one of life’s good guys. ‘I only wish him well.’
