Liverpool legend and former England star Peter Thompson has died at the age of 76.

The winger, born in Carlisle in 1942, was part of Bill Shankly's famous Reds team which won two league titles during the sixties.

He was signed by Shankly from Preston North End, where he made his Preston debut at the age of 17 in August 1960, later joining Bolton in 1973 before retiring in 1978.

He scored 54 goals in 416 appearances for Liverpool between 1963 and 1973, and helped the club win the FA Cup for the first time in 1965.

He was also capped 16 times by England under the country's World Cup-winning manager Sir Alf Ramsey.

Liverpool wrote on their official Twitter feed: 'We're deeply saddened by the passing of former winger Peter Thompson. RIP Peter.'

His former teammate Ian Callaghan told the Liverpool Echo that Thompson had been a key part of the successful era created by Shankly.

'It's such sad news. Peter was such a fantastic player and a big part of the club's success in that era.

'He had a real gift for dribbling with the ball and holding on to it. Peter was a really special player, he really was.'

Thompson was central to Liverpool's first-ever FA Cup win the following season, scoring the opener in a 2-0 semi-final success over Chelsea before playing every minute of the extra-time victory over Leeds in the Wembley showpiece.

Thompson was absent for only two games as Liverpool reclaimed the league crown in 1965-66 while, in total, he scored 54 goals in 416 matches for the Merseyside club.

He lost his place in the first team because of a knee injury and, in 1973, he joined Bolton, where he ended his playing career five years later having made 117 appearances.

Legendary manager Shankley once said of the midfielder: 'He could run forever, but more importantly in football he could run with the ball - probably the hardest thing to do.

'He could run every minute of every game, every week, every year better than anybody else.

'His work-rate was outstanding, his fitness unequalled, his balance like a ballet dancer.

'I have no hesitation in placing Peter up among the all-time greats - alongside such players as Tom Finney, Stanley Matthews and George Best.'

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.

Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”

Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
