Tottenham supporters are planning an extra tribute to Ugo Ehiogu during Saturday's FA Cup semi-final with Chelsea.

The former Aston Villa and Middlesbrough defender died after suffering a cardiac arrest at Spurs' training ground on Thursday.

Ehiogu had been Under-23 coach at White Hart Lane and both sets of players will wear black armbands at Wembley.

A minute's applause will be held before kick-off but Spurs fans have called for an additional tribute.

Supporters page Hotspur Edition has urged both Tottenham and Chelsea fans to join in a 44th minute tribute.

A post on Twitter read: "On the 44th minute of the FA Cup semi-final can you please joins Spurs fans in a minute’s applause. To honour a great coach, father and husband. What better place than the national stadium to honour such a great man.

Tributes have poured in for Ehiogu, who also won one England cap during his career.

Three Lions boss Gareth Southgate, who played alongside him for Aston Villa, hailed Ehiogu as a "gentle giant".

"I know that football will be grieving because he was so highly respected by everybody he worked with and losing him at such a young age is difficult to come to terms with," he added.

"Most importantly, he was a gentleman and he is one of those characters that people would find it difficult to have anything bad to say about him."
