Former Northern Ireland manager Billy Bingham, who led the team to the 1982 and 1986 World Cups, has died aged 90.
Bingham had two spells in charge of Northern Ireland (1967-1971 and 1980-1993) after he won 56 caps for his country as a player between 1951 and 1963, including appearances at the 1958 World Cup.
In a statement, Bingham's son David said: "Dad was diagnosed with dementia back in 2006 and I think it is a tribute to his will that he managed another 16 years from that diagnosis to the time he passed away.
He passed away peacefully last night at 10.30pm in a care home in Southport.
We are very proud of all our dad achieved."
Bingham managed Everton for four years from 1973, as well as Plymouth Argyle and Northern Irish club Linfield.
He also enjoyed a playing career as a right winger making 227 appearances in eight years for Sunderland, whom he joined from Northern Irish side Glentoran where he began his career in 1948.
The Belfast-based side tweeted: "Everyone at Glentoran is deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Billy Bingham.
