People at Wycombe Wanderers recall the late BBC presenter's love for their football club.
Ainsworth climbed up to an executive box where the broadcaster was a guest of the former chairman Andrew Howard."I saw him up there and there was only one thing I wanted to do, there was just this flood of emotion - [I thought] Bill's here, I need to go and see Bill.
Former captain, Matt Bloomfield, said he was inspired to do a sports media degree after commentating with the broadcaster during a spell of injury in 2008 and the pair became friends."He was just so humble, he had a quick wit about him and made you feel comfortable in his company and the lads were just drawn to him and warmed to him straight away.
Bloomfield recalls how Turnbull was at Wembley for the club's "greatest ever moment" when they beat Oxford in the 2020 play-off final to reach the second flight of English football for the first time the club's 133-year history."Officially he was a journalist, but unofficially he was a one-man Chairboys barmy army.
"He was just one of the best men you could wish to meet... he loved life, and he loved Wycombe Wanderers. It's just such sad news that he's been taken too soon.
