The funeral of Saints legend Bill Ellerington will take place next week.

Ellerington, who gave more than 40 years of service to his hometown club, passed away earlier this month, aged 91.

After signing full-time for Saints in 1945, he went on to make 238 appearances for the club, earning two England caps, before moving into coaching and scouting roles.

His funeral will take place on April 24 in Southampton Crematorium’s East Chapel, at 1.15pm.
