Indeed. It was lucky that someone (a former policeman) with medical training happened to be there too.
BT Sport replaced the programme that he was due to appear in 'BT Sport Score' with a basic results feed and World Rally Championship footage.
I'm not sure if this was cancelled out of respect for Mr Hoddle, or if there was no one available to replace him at such short notice. If the former, It's nice to see people being put before corporate needs for a change. If the latter, i'm surprised that the programme didn't go ahead as the TV industry seems to have carried forward 'the show must go on' mantra from the days of the theatre.
