A familiar face at Molineux and away games, the passionate Wolverhampton Wanderers fan was known by many for his incredible charity work raising tens of thousands of pounds.

A published author, Steve had written a series of books titled 'They Wore the Shirt' that he wrote in tribute to his father, a long-time Wolves fan who passed away from pancreatic cancer.

In the book he shared his extensive knowledge of the history of the colours of Wolves and how they became the current Old Gold and Black.

The sales of his book along with celebration dinners raised £100,000 for Birmingham Children's Hospital.

In 2016, the Express & Star spoke to Steve about his impressive collection of match-worn items, which he began collecting for his father.
