    The coach had spent 10 minutes warming up Mansfield's goalkeepers ahead of the Gay Meadow meeting when he collapsed. </p>

    He was taken to hospital and at 1445 GMT a stadium announcement confirmed that the match had been abandoned. </p>

    His death was confirmed by the Royal Shrewbury Hospital later on Saturday afternoon by doctors. </p>

    Mansfield's assistant manager Paul Holland said of the postponement decision: &quot;The players were in no fit state to play.&quot; </p>

    Wilson had recently joined the club from Leicester City</p></font></td></tr></tbody></table>
