FOOTBALL: The funeral of William "Bill'' Humphries, 84, a former chairman of the Wiltshire FA for many years, took place yesterday.
Bill was well known and respected in local football circles especially for his involvement in the Swindon Sunday League and as an FA councillor for 29 years. Mike Benson, general secretary of the Wilts FA, said: "Bill was a great character.
He sat on several sub committees on the council and will be remembered for his wit and good humour. On a personal note he was a wonderful man to know, a very good friend and he will be sadly missed in the local football world.''
