The former England manager had appeared on BT Sport\u2019s Saturday morning show and had been due to be part of the afternoon live scores show but that was subsequently cancelled.<\/p>\n
BT Sport presenter Jake Humphrey revealed the news about the former Tottenham and England player, who now works as a TV pundit and turned 61 on Saturday.<\/p>\n
Humphrey tweeted: \u201cOur friend & colleague Glenn Hoddle was taken seriously ill at the BT Sport studio this morning. For that reason there will be no @btsportscore \u2013 but we will be live as usual for the 5.30 ko at Leicester. Everyone of us is right with you Glenn, sending love & strength.\u201d<\/p>\n
BT did show the evening Premier League match between Leicester and West Ham and, speaking at the start of the coverage, Humphrey said: \u201cWhatever Glenn Hoddle is for you, whether he is one of the best footballers the country has ever produced, a wonderful colleague or a much-loved family member, the outpouring of love and support today has been quite something to behold.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe at BT Sport add to that and we are standing alongside you Glenn and sending you the very best for a speedy recovery.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe good news is he\u2019s now at hospital getting the best treatment possible.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hoddle is regarded as one of the most talented players to represent England in recent decades. As well as Tottenham, he also played for Monaco and Chelsea and managed, among others, Chelsea, Southampton and Spurs.<\/p>\n
Former England team-mate Gary Lineker wished Hoddle well, writing on Twitter: \u201cHugely worrying news that Glenn Hoddle collapsed at the BT studios earlier. Thoughts are with him and his family. Come on Glenn.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Football Association, via the England team account, wrote: \u201cWorrying news. Get well soon, Glenn Hoddle, we\u2019re all behind you.\u201d<\/p>\n
Tottenham and Chelsea also sent their best wishes to their former player and manager.<\/p>\n
Hoddle won 53 caps for England while as manager he took his country to the 1998 World Cup finals in France, qualifying on the back of a memorable 0-0 draw away to Italy.<\/p>\n
A two-time FA Cup winner with Spurs , Hoddle also had success on the continent, lifting the UEFA cup with Tottenham in 1984 and the Ligue 1 title in Monaco in 1988.<\/p>\n
