A junior football manager whose team had lost every match this season died from a heart attack just hours after their first victory.

Forty-two-year-old Dave Taylor, a father of three, collapsed and died at his Shipley home after watching Bolton Woods Juniors under-12 team end a year-long losing streak.

He ran the club's C team, which gave youngsters who could not get into the first teams the chance to play regular football.

Now the club is planning to create a memorial trophy in his honour.

His widow Lynn paid tribute to her "selfless" husband.

She said: "He was very dedicated in everything that he did. He absolutely loved the football and all the children who were involved.

"He would do anything for them, he would really go out of his way and give them lifts to games because a lot of the families didn't have cars. And he just loved his family as well."

Dave died at his Shaftesbury Avenue home on Sunday, February 13.

He leaves his widow, their two children Sarah, 14, and James, 12, and a son, David, 24, from a previous relationship. He also had an 18-month-old grandson, Dylan.

Dave and Lynn married 21 years ago after meeting at Shipley Paint. Dave was a supervisor and Lynn still works for the company, which now sponsors the under-12 team.

Dave had been a coach at the club for more than four years after getting involved when James started playing.

Lynn said: "The team he was in charge of was formed because there was a lot of children who were not getting a game.

"They were not superstars but they would come every week and loved playing. They actually hadn't won a game in the league this season but then they won 6-4 in a friendly match against Nab Wood Juniors on the Sunday that he died. He was absolutely made up and was phoning the other managers to let them know after the game."

Lynn said Dave had no history of heart problems and his death had been a complete shock.

Around 100 mourners attended his funeral at Nab Wood Crematorium on Monday.

Bolton Woods JFC general manager Tony Miller said: "Dave was a rare breed of person in that he always put other people before himself, even to the extent that he would still come and do the training when he was feeling ill.

"It is easy to manage a football team if you are winning games and trophies every week but for Dave that was secondary. He just wanted to give everyone the chance to take part. It didn't matter whether you had lots of ability, a little or none, Dave would treat everyone the same."

The club is now planning to create a permanent memorial. It is building a new pitch and training facilities off Gaisby Lane after receiving a £650,000 grant from the Football Foundation. Mr Miller said: "We were thinking of either having a Dave Taylor memorial trophy or naming some part of the new buildings after him."
