Everton legend Gordon West has died at the age of 69. The former Blues goalkeeper passed away peacefully on Sunday following a long illness.

West, one of the most popular Everton players of all-time, joined the Toffees from Blackpool in 1962 for a then British record fee for a goalkeeper of £27,000.

In total he made 402 appearances for the club, winning the League title in 1963 and 1970 and the FA Cup in 1966. He also represented England on three occasions.
