Ray Jones died three days before his 19th birthday, when he drove head-on into a bus in London.
His club retired his shirt number of 31. An inquest into the accident ruled that had Jones survived,
he would have faced charges of death by dangerous driving for the deaths of his two passengers.
Jones sped over a pedestrian crossing on the wrong side and hit a double-decker bus head-on.
He died with two passengers, Jess Basilua and Idris Olasupo, both 17, in East London,
23 days after passing his test.
Coroner Dr Elizabeth Stearns said his driving that night in East Ham fell "far below" expected standards.
