The son of a late Sunday league football club chairman is leading a three-day fundraising walk to Liverpool FC in his memory.
John Mould, who was chairman of Stafford-based Wildwood FC, died suddenly on 25 March, aged 62. His cause of death remains unknown, his family said.
His son Ethan Mould, from Stafford, was joined by 20 family members and friends on Thursday as they set off on the 66-mile trek from Stafford Rangers FC to Anfield stadium.
Ethan said his dad was a lifelong Liverpool supporter and followed Stafford Rangers for decades.
"My dad was a much-loved, very popular man within our local community," the 28-year-old said.
