Wrexham pay tribute to Fleet who has died aged 87

Wrexham have paid tribute to former goalkeeper Steve Fleet who has died aged 87 after being diagnosed with cancer.

Fleet made 96 competitive first team appearances for Wrexham between 1963 and 1966 after joining from Manchester City.

He signed for Stockport County in 1966 and played a key role in helping the club end the campaign as Division Four champions.

Fleet took up coaching after retiring from professional football and had spells in charge of Icelandic sides IA Akranes and IBV.

A Wrexham statement read: "Everyone at Wrexham AFC send their deepest condolences to his son Wesley and their wider family at this sad time."
