Tributes to footballer who has died aged 19

Tristan O'Keefe, who was described as a “bright light” at the Welsh side he represented dozens of times, died on June 11.

The death of the talented Pontnewynydd AFC footballer, a vital part of the side’s undefeated league campaign which secured the team’s promotion to the Gwent Premier League, has left his family, friends, teammates and wider community devastated.

The side, based near Pontypool, has announced the retirement of his number three shirt. The jersey will be framed and displayed permanently in the changing rooms as a reminder of his dedication and impact he had on the team.
