The family of a lifelong Norwich City supporter who died on Sunday after a match at Carrow Road has said his “love of football and the club has passed on through the generations”, and would continue to do so.
Jim Davies, 80, died after collapsing shortly after the final whistle in the third round FA Cup tie against Walsall.
In a statement released through the club, they said: “Jim began supporting the Canaries in the 1950s and was in the crowd when City famously knocked the Busby Babes out of the FA Cup in 1959.”
They also thanked the emergency services, stewards and supporters who “tried valiantly to revive Jim”.
