BBC forced to delete 'disrespectful' tweet showing off Ugo Ehiogu's Championship Manager stats
The BBC was forced to delete a tweet about Ugo Ehiogu's Championship Manager stats after following accusations of disrespect.
Ehiogu died on Friday morning after suffering a heart attack at Tottenham's training ground on Thursday. Ehiogu was rushed to hospital by ambulance, but passed away in the early hours of Friday morning at the age of just 44.
Social media was flooded with posts paying tribute to the former England international but an ill-judged post from BBC Sport was removed after receiving a strong negative reaction.
