Footballer Lee Collins was found hanging in his hotel room, an inquest has heard. Mr Collins, who was captain of Yeovil Town FC, was discovered at the Lanes Hotel in West Coker, near Yeovil, on March 31. “Lee was a professional footballer with Yeovil Town Football Club,” Mr Batley said. He moved to Vanarama National League club Yeovil Town from Forest Green in 2019 and made 35 league appearances for the Somerset club, including eight this campaign. Mansfield owner John Radford worked with Mr Collins between 2015 and 2017 and described him as a “battling braveheart” on the field and “gentleman” off it.
