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.



Martin Peters in his later years
"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
