Clutch takes a dump

Clutch takes a dump
So I'm driving down the road, nice and easy coz there's CHP behind me and I change into 3rd only the clutch pedal gets stuck on the floor. I pull it back up with my foot but it's all squidgy, nothing for the first 3/4 travel then mush. Remembering back to my first car, one of Britains finest (no synchros at all) I start double-declutching and smoothly carry on to pick up my daughter.
On the way back it's dark so I can't do any diagnostics, but I'm hearing a sort of throw-out bearing whirr when I push the clutch all the way in. I had a new clutch put in about 4 yrs ago but I'm not sure it they replaced the pressure plate.
Do you think I might get lucky and just have some master/servo cylinder work or am I looking at a new clutch?
Guess I'll find out in the morning.

The clutch house thinks its the fork and the throw out bearing took a dive. We'll see when she's opened up tomorrow.
I thought the shop I took it to for the last clutch exactly 3 years ago (40Kmiles max) might have forgotton to grease the TO bearing. They say they replaced it but I can't believe it could fail so soon. I don't ride the clutch at all.
Then again, maybe the fork & pivot failed and I need a new bell housing.
That wouldn't be bad would it?
