Thousands have attended a service at Coventry Cathedral in memory of football legend at Jimmy Hill. The former Coventry manager died in December.
Almost 2,000 people packed into Coventry Cathedral earlier this evening to remember former Coventry City manager Jimmy Hill.
Family, friends and colleagues from the world of football all paid their tributes to the man, who was described by his son as a real Roy of the Rovers.
Mark Gough reports:
Thousands of fans - who could not fit inside the cathedral - listened to proceedings from outside.
The modern game of football consists of highly paid players, all-seater stadiums and pre and post match punditry.
A memorial service being held in remembrance of former Coventry City manager Jimmy Hill, will take place later today at Coventry Cathedral.
