Jesus de Miguel's family said "the mark he has left on so many people" is something they will always remember as the footballer's funeral took place on Thursday.

The Tenerife forward, who was 30, died after suffering a serious injury during a Spanish second division match on Monday.

After colliding with the FC Andorra goalkeeper, De Miguel lay motionless on the pitch while being treated by medical staff and was taken to hospital, where the father-of-one died at 07:00 GMT on Tuesday.
