GRAHAM Reynolds, a sporting all-rounder who had a huge impact on Gwent sport, has died aged 70.

Mr Reynolds served local football for nearly 50 years, latterly as the President of the Gwent FA, an organisation he joined in 1977.

Mr Reynolds played football for Newport County, Cwmbran Town and Lovells Athletic among others and was capped by Wales at amateur level. He also played cricket for Glamorgan at first and second class level - and for Wales - and was a talent scout for Tottenham Hotspur football club.

Mr Reynolds was formerly deputy head teacher at Hartridge High.
