Legendary national football league coach and player Mike Ditka was hospitalized in Florida earlier this week, according to several sources.

Ditka, 79, was playing golf in Naples, Florida on Wednesday when he complained about not feeling well, the Chicago Sun-Times and the WGN reported, citing unnamed sources.

WGN reported that Ditka had suffered a heart attack, while the Sun-Times announced that the former Chicago Bears coach had been treated at the hospital for "a heart-related condition."

Ditka has had heart problems in the past, returning to the Bears bar 11 days after suffering a heart attack in 1988, WGN reported.

Ditka suffered a stroke while he was playing golf on a course in Illinois in 2012, reported the Sun-Times.

A native of Pennsylvania, Ditka is a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame and the University Football Hall of Fame. He played college at the University of Pittsburgh and played in the NFL for 12 seasons with the Bears, Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles. He played the tight game when the Bears won the NFL title in 1963 and brought Chicago to a 46-10 win at Super Bowl XX.
