Tributes have poured in for Scotland supporter Colin King after he passed away in his sleep on Monday, having travelled to Germany to watch Steve Clarke's side in action at Euro 2024
Colin King, from Blantyre, South Lanarkshire, was found dead in his bed on Monday morning after a day of exploring Dusseldorf. Tributes have poured in for the 57-year-old dad after news of his passing was revealed on social media by his nephew, Christopher O'Rourke.
"He was many things to different people, a father, a husband, a brother, a friend, a colleague, a boss to many but to me he was my uncle Colin, always on the wind-up. He loved his trips away with Scotland and luckily I got to share a few with him just sadly this was his last. This trip will be memorable for everyone but for different reasons."
