Former Burnley player Jimmy McIlroy has died at the age of 86.
The inside forward, who is widely regarded as the Clarets' finest ever player, was a mainstay of the team which won the First Division title in 1960 and reached the quarter-finals of the European Cup the following season.
McIlroy made 497 appearances for the club and scored 131 goals during a 13-year spell at Turf Moor.
A Burnley statement read: 'The club is deeply saddened to learn of the death of our greatest ever player. A giant of a man. The thoughts of everyone connected with the club are with his family and friends at this sad time. Rest in peace, Jimmy.'
McIlroy joined Burnley from Glentoran in 1950 and quickly became a mainstay of the side which never finished outside the top seven between 1956 and 1963.
The club's fans were devastated when he left to join Stoke in 1963, and he ended his playing days at Oldham before brief spells as manager of the Latics and Bolton.
McIlroy also won 55 caps for Northern Ireland, whom he helped reach the World Cup finals in 1958.
