A lottery winner who pumped his jackpot money into his beloved football club has died.
Paul Bristow and his wife Thea hit the headlines in 2004 when they won £15 million on the National Lottery.
Mr Bristow then became a director at Torquay United, the club he had supported since childhood, when a local consortium took over the club in 2007.
As vice-chairman he invested hundreds of thousands into the club, helping them stay in business during tough financial times.
As well as football, Mr Bristow had been a scout leader for 23 years and treated his scout group to a trip to Salzburg on his winnings.
