Footballers gather to pay tribute to Dean Richards

Footballers gathered today to pay their respects to former Wolves star Dean Richards during his funeral at Bradford Cathedral.

The 36-year-old died on Saturday morning after a long-term battle with a serious illness, believed to be a brain tumour.

Former Wolves players Geoff Thomas and Steve Froggatt, and the team's fitness coach Tony Daley were among the mourners.

They were joined by other ex-Wolves stars who played with Dean, including Steve Bull, Mike Stowell, Matt Murray, Don Goodman and Lee Naylor.

Former Wolves star Robbie Keane said: "Dean was a good friend and will be sadly missed."

Dean retired in March 2005, aged 30, after suffering dizzy spells and headaches while playing for Spurs.
