Ex-players at funeral for referee Jack Taylor

Hundreds of mourners this afternoon turned out to pay their last respects to referee Jack Taylor.

Former Wolves players gathered alongside family members for his funeral at St Peter's Collegiate Church, in Wolverhampton.

Mr Taylor, who was 82, died at his home in Lower Upton, Shifnal, last month after suffering pneumonia.

His matches included the 1974 World Cup final between West Germany and Holland in Munich.

Chairman of the FA Sir Trevor Brooking said: "He was up there with the very best referees of all time. We have named the referees room at the St George's Park National Football Centre in Burton after him."
