George Cohen, who lifted the World Cup with England in 1966, has sadly died at the age of 83, his former club Fulham have announced.
"Everyone at Fulham Football Club is deeply saddened to learn of the passing of one of our greatest ever players – and gentlemen – George Cohen MBE," a statement from the Cottagers read.
Cohen, who was born in Kensington in 1939, spent his entire playing career with Fulham, racking up 459 appearances between 1956 and 1969 and scoring six league goals. The pinnacle of his career - and, remarkably, his only major honour - came in 1966, when he started against West Germany in the World Cup final at Wembley Stadium.
