In a statement his family said Mr Bromell, who was better known as Hogan, would be remembered for his "cheeky smile and funny character".

They added: "You would never not see Hogan without a smile on his face and a little joke to tell.

"It is a devastating loss and he will be missed by everyone that knew him."
