Glenn Hoddle is out of hospital and recovering at home following his heart attack.

The former England manager and Tottenham legend collapsed in the BT Sport studios last month while carrying out his punditry duties for the channel.

He was initially in intensive care after emergency heart surgery. But one month on, Hoddle's spokesman said he was now recuperating at home after his hospital treatment.

The spokesman said: "After being taken ill on October 27, Glenn received specialist care at St Bartholomew's Hospital in London.

“To aid his recovery from a cardiac arrest, Glenn underwent surgery. He responded well to treatment and is now at home recuperating from the procedure.

“The care that Glenn received from St Bartholomew's Hospital was exemplary. His family would like to thank the hospital staff and the many people who have sent supportive messages."

The spokesman added: "Doctors have outlined that rest is paramount for Glenn now. With that in mind, his family ask politely that their privacy is respected and that Glenn is given time to recover fully.”

After the 61-year-old's heart attack, his family said it was "overwhelmed" by messages of support from football fans.
