West Ham United FC @whufc_official

Everyone at West Ham United has been saddened to learn of the death of former Hammers Academy player Mitchell Cole at the age of 27. RIP

Cole, who was 27, had been forced to retire as a professional player in February last year owing to a heart attack.

Writing on its official Twitter feed, the League said: "We are sad to hear former Southend, Stevenage and Oxford player Mitchell Cole has passed away. Our thoughts are with his family and friends."

Cole, who was married to the sister of England international Joe Cole, scored for Stevenage against Kidderminster at Wembley in the 2007 FA Trophy Final. He said last year he would be risking death if he were to play again.

In an interview with The Sun he said: "A few players around the world die of this every year. The specialists told me that every day I have a one percent chance of dropping dead and sport quadruples that risk.

"When he gave me the numbers and showed me images of my heart, it hit me hard."

Despite retiring from the professional game last year, Cole did make a handful of non-league appearances, some of which came for Arlesey Town.

However, according to their director of football, Gary King, watching Bolton midfielder Fabrice Muamba suffer a cardiac arrest in an FA Cup tie with Tottenham in March convinced Cole to give up the game for good.

King said: "We were watching that game in the clubhouse and he turned to me and said 'I'm not playing again', although I'm told he might have been playing five-a-side in London last night."

The PFA joined the Football League in expressing their condolences, tweeting: "The PFA is deeply saddened by the loss of 27-year-old Mitchell Cole, our thoughts are with his friends and family."

Cole had tweeted last night about playing football.

On @mitchcole21 he wrote: "London tonight for the usual kick about with the lads!"

Cole suffered from hypertrophic cardiomyopathy which is an irregular thickness of the heart in certain areas.

After being released by West Ham he went on to carve out a carer in the lower leagues after establishing himself at Stevenage.

Cole scored the opening goal in the 2007 FA Trophy final as Stevenage won 3-2 and also helped the club secure promotion to the Football League in 2010.

He moved to Oxford where he quit as a professional last year before returning to the non-League game.

Re: **Official Other Teams & Games Thread, Season 2012/13**

West Ham will be back in the bottom half later this evening.
 
Re: **Official Other Teams & Games Thread, Season 2012/13**

That was a great cut back though

Credit where its due it was. Commentators queried whether he meant it??? Pretty sure he looked up, he knew what he was doing with the cutback

Come Boxing day night they could be teetering just above the drop zone,can quite possibly see them only picking up 2pts in the next 4 games after this one

He did.

He isnt the striker he was and I dont think he will ever be bUT whenever I have seen him lately he has played ok in terms of link up play and creating for others . Its as if he has evolved his game to make up for his lack of goals and his pace (although he is still fudgein quick just not as quick as before)

Yeh but according to their macaron fans Tottenham Hotspur were coming for you !!!!!

The best one was back in either Sept/Oct. And they were tweeting 'Mind the gap' because they were 1pt ahead, but we still had a home game in hand the following day.

Game hasnt finished yet - you never know with Benny Hill. They could just sit back second half and you get spam going for it.

To be honest I want a spammers win as id rather Chelscum lose and prevent them from getting further away from us.
