The seven-year-old son of former Blues striker and coach Chris Kiwomya died on Wednesday. Lucas Kiwomya was taken to Colchester General Hospital having suffered breathing problems after arriving at Highfields School in Lawford, Essex.

A spokesperson for the school said: "We are all devastated. Lucas was a delightful boy, with a ready smile and infectious giggle.

"He loved school and was always keen to do his best. He will be very sadly missed by staff and pupils alike."

Chris Kiwomya left the Town coaching staff at the end of last season and is now the development squad manager at Notts County. TWTD's thoughts are with Chris and his family.
