Who was Paul Jiggins and what was his cause of death? Football reporter dead: The world is currently mourning the demise of much-loved football journalist Paul Jiggins. Millwall admirer “Jiggo” was one of the sharpest football reporters in the business. He covered the rollercoaster ride of Tottenham ride in the last 1 decade, including their run to the 2019 Champions League final. And of course, all the Spursy moments in between.

Who was Paul Jiggins?
Jiggo was a strong presence in the press box, unafraid to pose the tough questions to Premier League managers. But he also had a brilliant way with words and his intros were the jealousy of his rivals. Spurs’ last-gasp win over Ajax to reach the Champions League final-24 hours after the epic fightback of Liverpool against Barcelona direct him to write: “Mauricio Pochettino cried for joy after his Spurs heroes made the greatest Champions League comeback since Tuesday.”
Jiggo will be surely and particularly missed at his beloved Millwall, who will wear black armbands in the match on Saturday at Stoke and have renamed their media suite after him. Shaun Custis, Sun head of sport said; “We are deeply upset by the passing of Paul. He was an immensely famous member of The Sun sports team who had a special talent for entertaining the readers. “He was also a great pal to the press pack who covered Spurs with him and he will be highly missed at Millwall, the club that was so close to his heart.

Jiggo could write an XI of players whose names sounded like fish and he could write an outstanding piece about Christian Eriksen, minutes after his collapse. He was a brilliant journalist. But far more importantly, he was a warm, caring, supportive, funny man and a great friend. https://t.co/nGzX75TI5Y

Rocked me when I heard – every tribute you’ll see to Jiggo will be the same.
Fun, kind, sharp and a true one off.
Tabloid is often maligned, but at its best it is an art form. And Paul delivered some of the best intros.
Gutted. Absolutely gutted https://t.co/T7bErc26lV— Duncan Wright (@dwright75) March 17, 2022
Jiggo was one of a kind and a brilliant colleague who has personally helped me a lot. A huge personality with the ability to make you chuckle with his incredible one liners. RIP to a Millwall and SunSport legend. 💙 https://t.co/DO3lLdNHA9

Helped me immensely when I started out and was always on the end of the phone if I needed him, or if he had a funny anecdote he needed to pass on. Learned so much and have a lot to thank him for. Just wish I could have thanked him in person. RIP buddy. https://t.co/gfChXDBzIT
