The death of a former Shrewsbury Town midfielder was drug-related, an inquest has concluded.
Shropshire Coroner John Ellery heard Steve Jagielka, who was 43 and the older brother of ex-England and Everton defender Phil, had been preparing to move house.
Mr Ellery said there was no suggestion his death was deliberate.
Mr Jagielka's ex-wife, Jo Fallows, said he was a "fun-loving and charming character" with a passion for football.
She added: "Steve had a lasting impact on many people's lives."
The medical cause of death was recorded as aspirational pneumonia due to methadone toxicity.
