Mr Noble, a dad-of-two, was the son of former Manchester United player Bobby Noble. Bobby, a full-back, played a large role in the Red Devils' title winning team of 1966/67 - before a car crash in Sale left him with head, chest, and leg injuries which ultimately led to the end of his playing career.
