Apologies if already mentioned elsewhere.

Just read he is in intensive care. Collapsed at the Exeter vs Sheff Utd game at the weekend and has had emergency heart surgery.

Only 60 years old.

    Hope to recovers soon. He's been instrumental in turning Exeter's fortunes around since their post administration/ non league dark days.

    Was absolutely gutted to hear this on Saturday and have been looking out for updates since. There hasnt been much news coming out of Exeter. He had surgery late Sat evening and has been in ITU since. Exeter's statement said he would be uncontactable until further notice. So we're sitting with our fingers crossed.

    Hope to god he pulls through. I was lucky enough to meet him through a mutual friend a couple of years ago and ended up chatting about Spurs with him for a good couple of hours, telling him with delight I'd watched a video of the 1972 UEFA Cup Semi when he scored two bloody amazing goals. Lovely down to earth bloke. He must have thought I was a complete freak but hey, I was star struck.

    One of the Tottenham greats. Simple as that.

    Was one of the biggest names around when I was a kid growing up following football.
    Great player and always seemed like a decent bloke.
    Wish him well for a full recovery.

    All the best to Steve a great full back and servant to Spurs always thought he was a bit unlucky not to get an England cap. Lets hope his recovery goes well.

    Finally some good news, was transferred from Intensive Care to a high dependency ward yesterday. Apparently he managed his first cup of tea since being taken ill too.

    You haven't bought anything in the Charlton area recently, have you?

    Yes, good to hear. I even forgive him for his blatant dive against us at WHL, which cost us the game and nearly relegation (he admitted he dived)
  • Always liked Steve perryman glad he is on the right road to recovery
