Sorry to hear that. Class player who used to ghost into scoring positions. Quiet bloke. RIP Martin Peters.

Very sad news indeed. I see he had been suffering from Alzheimer’s disease.

A fine midfielder who at one point became Britain’s first £200,000 player on moving to Spurs from West Ham. I fondly remember his goal in the WC final in 1966 that put us 2-1 up.

RIP Martin.
