Kevin Cadle, a mainstay of Sky Sports NFL coverage, as died aged 62.

The former Basketball coach joined Sky Sports as an NBA and NFL Europe presenter before making the step up to NFL in 1998, where he presented for over two decades.

A former coach of both England and Scotland basketball sides, Cadle was the most successful coach in the history of UK basketball and was handed a ‘Most Successful Team ever in British Sport’ Guinness World Record for his time as coach of Kingston Kings in 1989/90.

Sky Sports managing director Barney Francis said: "Kevin presented our NFL and basketball coverage for over 15 years and he did so much to inform and entertain the growing fan bases these sports enjoy in the UK and Ireland.

"In a week that will see yet another NFL sell-out crowd on these shores, we should recognise the impact he made. He was a great guy, an excellent colleague and we will all miss him very much.

"Our thoughts are with his friends and family."
