West Ham and England legend Martin Peters has died aged 76 after a three year
battle with Alzheimer's disease.
Peters famously scored for England in the 1966 World Cup final - as the Three
Lions beat West Germany 4-2 at Wembley.
The midfielder was also famed for being the first £200,000 players, when he
transferred from the Hammers to Tottenham.
He also played for Norwich and Sheffield United before retiring from
professional football in 1981 - having taken charge of the Blades.
In 2016, it was revealed that Peters had been diagnosed with Alzheimer's
disease.
A statement on the West Ham website from the Peters family said: It is with
profound sadness that we announce that Martin passed away peacefully in his
sleep at 4.00am this morning.

"A beloved husband, dad and grandad, and a kind, gentle and private man,
we are devastated by his loss but so very proud of all that he achieved and
comforted by the many happy memories we shared.
"We will be making no further comment and kindly ask that the privacy of
our family is respected at this extremely difficult time.”
Renowned as being the complete midfielder, Peters was good in the air, able
to cross with either foot and possessed great movement, being able to drift
into goal-scoring positions unnoticed by his markers which would later see
him nicknamed 'The Ghost'.

Peters came through the West Ham academy, having signed as an apprentice in
1959 and went on to help the east London club win the European Cup Winners'
Cup in 1965.
During his career, Peters made 724 Football League appearances, scoring 175
times - for England he notched 20 times and won 67 caps.

A DIONISIO RIDRUEJO
FALANGISTA AMANTE DE CATALUÑA
Navidad entre los
montes gerundenses
allí tu masía y tu hura
soriano recio
de pura raza
escuchó los estampidos
de Novgpord
superviviente del
cerco a Leningrado
aquel magno holocausto
deja que la historia
pase de largo
Fue tu devenir como el
diario de una tregua
pensa en la vida
que tens entorn
