Former Liverpool captain Ron Yeats has died at the age of 86.
The former defender, described as a ‘colossus’ by legendary Reds manager Bill Shankly, had suffered with Alzheimer’s in recent years.
‘The thoughts of everyone at LFC are with Ron’s wife, Ann, all of his family and his friends at this incredibly sad time,’ Liverpool said in a statement.
‘Flag across club sites will be lowered to half-mast today as a mark of respect.’
