 He received medical treatment on site before being transferred to hospital by ambulance but doctors were unable to save the 44-year-old. Ehiogu, who was working for Tottenham at the time of his death, was laid to rest at St Michael's church Highgate, north London. 
 He leaves behind him his wife, Gemma, and their two children. A fundraising page set up by Ehiogu's wife, meanwhile, has raised more than £20,000. His family set up the page to raise money to help give disadvantaged children equal opportunities in football, a cause Ehiogu had been passionate about during his lifetime.

  Explaining the decision to set up the page, Gemma Ehiogu worte: "Ugo's dream was to set up a charity that gives every child equal opportunity to access and play football. He had already put the wheels in motion. "This fund will make his dream become a r

 eality. We don't have a set target every donation will help. Thank you, In memory of Ugo Ehiogu." In the weeks that have followed, £23,772 has been raised by more than 400 donors.

 Middlesbrough, Arsenal and Rangers are among the football clubs to have donated. A message left by Boro on the JustGiving page read: "Ugo Ehiogu. One of our heroes. You will never be forgotten by Middlesbrough Football Club or the people of Teesside."
