Former Notts County defender Michael Johnson has released a heart-breaking statement confirming his wife has died from cancer.
The 48-year-old, who made more than 150 appearances for the Magpies across several spells at the club, said his wife had sadly passed away at the age of 44.
She died from liver cancer and Mr Johnson, who had a stint as caretaker manager at Meadow Lane, paid tribute to his "Queen".
