His wife posted the first update on her husband's condition on Twitter: "Clarke's very poorly but he's alive and stable. Best Christmas gift we as a family could wish for. Thanks again."

In 2002 was awarded the title of "Britain's Brainiest Footballer" in a TV game show.
He has worked as an advocate to stamp out racism and homophobia in sport, as well as raising the profile of mental health after revealing that he tried to kill himself after he retired from football.
Representatives from the PFA visited Carlisle in hospital, and in a short statement the organisation said: "Everyone at the PFA is keeping Clarke Carlisle in their prayers and thoughts.
"We visited Clarke at the hospital yesterday and we are offering our full help and support to him and his family at this difficult time."
