Tributes have been paid to a 'true legend' father-of-three after he died suddenly in his sleep aged 54.
Wayne Thornton was a loyal supporter of Huddersfield Town FC and a "true legend", his family said.
Daughter Jade Foster told Yorkshire Live her dad was a 'caring, happy and good-hearted' man.
Jade said: "He would always have a smile on his face and was so polite and welcoming.
"He always had time to stop for a chat or make sure everyone else was okay before himself."
Wayne was a regular at Kirklees Stadium - where he supported Huddersfield Town from the stands for around 30 years, Jade said.
Wayne was a family man and his three grandchildren - Ella, Koby and Myah - were "his absolute world", Jade added.
"He’d spend hours doing jigsaws, building car tracks or playing ball games in the garden," she said.
"They are absolutely distraught, he adored all three of them.
"With them being so young they now know granddad is in the sky and to look for the biggest shining star because that will be granddad always looking down on them."
To pay for her dad's funeral, Jade has set up a Go Fund Me page.
The family have already raised £1,900 in donations to go towards his send off.
For Wayne's "final goodbye", guests are being asked to wear Huddersfield Town's blue and white match shirts.
"He collected every single Huddersfield Town shirt over the years", Jade said.
"His family have decided to give a shirt each to all his close loved ones to honour his life when saying our final goodbyes, to create a sea of blue and white."
Wayne worked at Monthomery Engravers in Fartown, Huddersfield.
He leaves his partner Lynn and three daughters Jade, Sianne and Kayleigh-Marie.
The family are yet to set a funeral date.
