Former Liverpool winger Brian Hall has died at the age of 68.
Hall, who played for Liverpool between 1969 and 1976, had been battling leukaemia for a number of years.
Born in Glasgow, Hall scored 21 goals in 224 appearances for the Reds before moving on to Plymouth and Burnley.
Hall played under Bill Shankly and Bob Paisley, winning two League Championship medals, two UEFA Cup medals and an FA Cup winners' medal.
His most famous individual goal for the Reds was also his first for the club, as he scored the winner in the 1971 FA Cup semi-final against Everton at Old Trafford – although they went on to lose in the final.
Hall, who was a university graduate, returned to Liverpool in 1991 to take charge of the club's public relations department before retiring in 2011 due to health reasons.
Hall's former team-mate Ray Clemence and ex-Reds striker John Aldridge took to Twitter to express their condolences.
Clemence wrote: "So sad to hear of Brian Hall, good player, great man. Thoughts are with Mary and the family.”
Aldridge added: "Very sad news for all LFC fans. Brian Hall passed away today. What a gentleman a lovely man. Our thoughts are with his family.”
