FORMER Worcester City Football Club director Paul Curtis has died following a short illness.

The 75-year-old was well known in Worcester after serving as a director at the club for 10 years before resigning from the board in 2008.

Previously a member of Sapey Golf Club for a number of years, he had recently joined Bransford.

His funeral will be at Worcester Crematorium on Monday, October 30, at 1.45pm.

City say they will hold a minute's silence at the next appropriate match for their former director who had also been an active member of the supporters' trust.
