FA Vice-Chairman Sir Dave Richards said: "Jack Wiseman’s tireless work for The FA marked him out as a true stalwart of the game.

"His effort and commitment to all aspects of the running and the development of English football was recognised by colleagues throughout the game. Jack always made time for the staff and players, which earned him the trust and respect that was typical of his time at The FA.

“It was an honour and a privilege not only to have worked with Jack, but to be able to count him as a friend – his contribution to football was significant. He will be sadly missed.”
