Ex-England manager Greenwood dies
Ron Greenwood was England manager for five years
Former England and West Ham manager Ron Greenwood has died at the age of 84 following a long illness.
Greenwood, who managed the national team between 1977 and 1982, died at his Suffolk home.
World Cup hero Sir Geoff Hurst said: "It would not be overstating the case to say that Ron was the single most influential figure in my career.
"He opened the door to the world of modern football and I consider it a privilege to play for him."
