Glenn Hoddle is recovering well from surgery he had to undergo following a heart attack.
Hoddle, the England and Tottenham legend, collapsed on his 61st birthday last month at BT Sport’s London studios, being taken to hospital and admitted to intensive care.
He had an operation, believed to be a heart bypass, last week, and is said to be rapidly recovering.
According to The Sun, Hoddle has been texting friends from hospital, and should be able to return to television work when fully recovered.
Hoddle had to go through a prior surgery to add three stents to widen his arteries, but a heart bypass was decided as the way forward to boost blood flow to his heart.
