Hundreds of people attended the funeral of a lifelong Wrexham fan, which was held last week, 

Shaun Jones, from Penyffordd, passed away on October 19, aged 47. 

Shaun lived in Nantwich, had a career in logistics, and a lifelong love for Wrexham AFC and football in general. 

He was the husband of Joanne and the dad of Olivia and Emily. 

On Friday, November 11, Shaun's funeral was held at Northop crematorium, before a service took place at Penyffordd legion.

It was an emotional day for all involved as around 500 people turned up at the crematorium to pay their respects. 

One of Shaun's best mates, Lee Chamberlain was a coffin bearer and said he couldn't believe how many people turned up. 

Lee said: "The Crem only seats about 95, but someone had done a headcount and had to stop at 500. 

"I knew it would've been busy, but when I was told it was 500, I was shocked, then afterwards the service at the Legion was heaving. 

"It just sums him up really. 

"It was a tough day, it was really hard and it was very emotional, but he would've been proud of it all, which is what I told his daughters."

Most of those who attended donned football shirts, to pay tribute to 'football-mad' Shaun.

Lee added: "Most turned up in football shirts, Yma o Hyd was played during the service at the Crem and his daughters paid tribute to him. 

"I saw loads of old mates there, with Shaun's football connections, loads of local footy lads attended too. 

"The day was an emotional ride, but it was a great send-off."
