England World Cup winner Ron Flowers has passed away. He was 87.

A true legend of the game, Flowers went on to play 512 times for Wolves after joining from Doncaster in 1950.

During his 15 years at the club, he won the First Division in 1954, 1957 and 1959. He then won the FA Cup in 1960.

Flowers was capped 49 times by England and was famously part of the Three Lion's squad that lifted the World Cup under Sir Alf Ramsey in 1966.

Upon his retirement, he opened a sports shop in Wolverhampton — Ron Flowers Sports — which remains open in the city centre.

Flowers was also the president The Wolves Former Players' Association.
