Rigobert Song

Disappointed to see no mention of Rigobert Song after suffering a suspected stroke and going into a coma for 2 days. Thankfully he came out of the coma yesterday but will still have a battle on his hands. Only 40 years of age

Hoping he comes through ok

Former Cameroon international Rigobert Song has been flown from Cameroon to France for further treatment after coming out of a two-day coma.

The 40-year-old was admitted to Yaounde Central Hospital on Sunday after falling unconscious.

On Tuesday he waved to fans outside the Yaounde Emergency Centre as he was taken away to the airport.

Yaounde Emergency Centre director Dr. Louis Joss Bitang A Mafok said Song had suffered a "cerebral hemorrhage".

Song's relative, Alexandre, has expressed gratitude to Cameroonians for their good wishes.

"At this moment my family is living difficult times. We are touched by the love and support of Cameroonians and elsewhere," he said.

Cameroon Health Minister Andre Mama Fouda also offered his support.

"Song has departed to Pitie Salpetriere hospital in Paris, where he will continue treatment. I am grateful to the Head of State for instructing the government to take the necessary measures to ensure that Song recovers.

"We hail the professionalism of medical doctors in Cameroon and we continue to pray for a safe trip for Rigobert Song and that he should recover very fast."

On Tuesday, Dr. Mafok confirmed Song had "come out of his coma and the oxygen has been disconnected", adding "his high blood pressure has returned to normal and the cerebral haemorrhage has been controlled".

Song played 137 times for his country and had spells with English clubs Liverpool and West Ham.

He has been working as a coach for Cameroon's football federation following his departure as Chad coach.

Former Cameroon team-mate Samuel Eto'o tweeted in French: "I wish you courage and a speedy recovery big brother."

Ex-Liverpool players Jamie Carragher, Stan Collymore and Robbie Fowler have also sent messages of support, while the Anfield club tweeted: "Our thoughts are with Rigobert Song and his family at this time."

Continued best wishes to him on his recovery.

Stay strong big man

It would seem that someone may have a very poor sense of humor on Twitter, reports of Rigobert's passing seem to be false.

Fingers crossed.

Oh if that is true that poster needs hunting down and a good kicking, some things you do NOT joke about.

Is Rigobert Song ‘Dead’? Rumors of Soccer Star’s Death Spread Online

One of the most recognizable faces in African soccer has reportedly died at the age of 40. Rigobert Song suffered a stroke on October 3 and was said to have been making a recovery. News of his death was first reported on October 7, days after government officials in his homeland had given him the all-clear.

The only news outlet officially reporting that Song had is Africa News Today. The website quotes Song’s “son” Alex, formerly of Barcelona and Arsenal and who is now at Rubin Kazan in Russia, in confirming the death. Alex Song is not Rigobert Song but rather is his nephew.

ESPN reports that Cameron’s health minister, Andre Mama Fouda, said on October 5, “He leaves conscious. His life is no longer in danger, but he is not out of the woods yet. We hope he gets well soon, and comes back in full form, as we know him to be.”
While on October 5, CamFoot reported that Song had opened his eyes following his coma. The website adds that Song had been airlifted from Yaounde in his homeland to Paris. While being transported to a private plane, Song raised a fist in salute to well-wishers.

The last update on Song’s condition came from L’Equipe on October 7, that report said that Song’s operation had been a success and that he was on the road to recovery. http://heavy.com/sports/2016/10/rigobert-song-cause-of-death-stroke-dead-dies-wife-gabrielle-esther-nnomo-mballa-nephew-alex-song/
