The widow of ex-England, Aston Villa and Middlesbrough defender Ugo Ehiogu has set up a fundraising page in his memory following his death on Friday.
Ehiogu, 44, collapsed at Tottenham's training centre on Thursday, where he was working as their under-23s coach, after suffering a cardiac arrest.
Gemma Ehiogu said money was being raised to help set up a charity that would give all children the opportunity to play football.
Over £11,000 has been raised so far.
Mrs Ehiogu started up a page on JustGiving on Saturday with an original target of £1,000 to establish a charity in her husband's name.
