Steve Black: Newcastle United and Falcons lead tributes as mentor and coach dies aged 64

Newcastle's football and rugby teams have led tributes following the death of their former coach Steve Black.
The 64-year-old worked with Newcastle United under Kevin Keegan and was also part of the club's backroom staff during the 2015-16 season.
Black also spent two spells on the coaching staff at Newcastle Falcons where he developed a close relationship with England star Jonny Wilkinson.
He also worked closely with Wales, the British and Irish Lions and Sunderland.
Newcastle Falcons called him "a club legend who will never be forgotten".
A minute's silence will be held in his honour ahead of Sunday's Premiership match against Exeter Chiefs at Kingston Park.

Thoughts are with all his family and friends at this time. RIP

Ben Kay, "one of life's enhancer".

A lot of tributes such as that talking glowingly of how he improved the lives of those around him. You can't say much more for someone who's just passed than that.

Such sad news and gone too soon. RIP.
