Former Tottenham Hotspur player Ron Henry dies, aged 80

Former Tottenham Hotspur double winner and England left-back Ron Henry dies at the age of 80.

Former Tottenham Hotspur defender Ron Henry has passed away at the age of 80.

Henry was part of Bill Nicholson's legendary side of the early 1960s as Spurs became the first team in the 20th century to win the domestic double, picking up the league and the FA Cup in 1961.

They went on to retain the FA Cup in 1962 before adding the European Cup Winners' Cup a year later in a golden era for the North London outfit.

"It is with great sadness that we record the death of our double-winning left-back Ron Henry who passed away this afternoon at a Harpenden hospice," read a statement on Tottenham's official club website.

"We extend our condolences to his family at this sad time."

Left-back Henry, who also won a solitary cap for England in 1963, spent 14 years at White Hart Lane, making almost 250 league appearances for the club.
