WALTON Lea Crematorium was awash with primrose and blue on Monday morning as the life of Warrington Wolves super fan Jock was remembered.

Jock, less commonly known as James McGuire, died at Warrington Hospital on July 25 aged 85 having followed the Wire home and away for more than 75 years.

Those paying their respects included past players and staff from the club, including Lee Briers and Mike Nicholas, in addition to friends, family and fellow supporters - with some sporting replica shirts and T-shirts with 'There's only one Jock' printed on them.

The crematorium was full to the brim, and many had to watch the service from outside.

Jock was born in Paisley in 1930 before being adopted by a family in Longford at the age of five.

He married his wife Cynthia on Valentine's Day in 1953 and worked for many years in the ambulance service.

It was said in one speech that Jock 'loved the ambulance service and Warrington Wolves, but most of all he loved Cynthia'.

The words of Challenge Cup final anthem Abide With Me were read out to the congregation, who at one point chanted 'Warry warry Warrington'.

Jock's coffin was adorned with Warrington Wolves memorabilia, including his distinctive blue baseball cap.

The funeral cortege has earlier passed by the Halliwell Jones Stadium and Warrington Hospital.

The service was followed by a wake at the Sportsman's Arms in Penketh.
