Tributes have poured in to Mr Mynard, from Kidderminster, who is described as a dedicated player and a genuinely nice person.

In 1949 he transferred to Derby County when he was 23-years-old and later went to Scunthorpe United before playing with Worcester City and Kidderminster Harriers.
Legendary Wolves and England goalie Mr Bert Williams said: "I am very sorry to hear he has passed away. He was a genuinely nice person.
"I remember him very well. He was a typical dedicated Wolves player."
He leaves a widow Barbara and daughter Susan. His funeral is at Stourbridge Crematorium at 10.20am tomorrow.
