A COACH who showed thousands of youngsters how to find the back of the net has died aged 73.

John Eversham played football for Belmont Rangers, Westfields and Lads Club before going on to teach many generations how to play the game.

Mr Eversham, who was from Lyde Street, Westfields, Hereford, died on Sunday at St Michael's Hospice.

He is survived by his wife Rose and their children Paul and Marie.
