The death of Roger Hunt at the age of 83 leaves just three surviving members from the England team that won the World Cup in 1966.
Sir Bobby Charlton, Sir Geoff Hurst and George Cohen are now the only living players from the team that famously and thrillingly defeated West Germany 4-2 after extra time at Wembley.

Roger Hunt, who started the 1966 World Cup final, when England beat West Germany 4-2 at Wembley, has died at the age of 83
Hunt started the '66 final in attack, but his industrious performance was always likely to be overshadowed by the hat-trick scored by his strike partner Hurst.
