A popular steward who worked at Watford Football Club since 1978 has died.

Ron Lewis, 62, attended Tuesday night’s match against Cardiff, but went home early after complaining of feeling unwell.

Paramedics were alerted to a man who collapsed in his car in Stratford Road, Watford, at about 8.35pm and Mr Lewis was taken to Watford General Hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Scott Field, Watford’s head of communications, said: “He was an extremely popular member of staff. While he will be sorely missed, he will also be fondly remembered.

"Our thoughts are with Ron’s family and friends at this time.”
