Everton Legend West Dies Former Goalkeeper Passes Away Aged 69 by obillyj(f): 11:22pm On Jun 10, 2012
Former Everton goalkeeper Gordon West has died at the age of 69, the club have confirmed.

West, who also had spells at Blackpool and Tranmere, had been battling a long illness and passed away peacefully on Sunday.

West helped the side to the First Division title in 1963 and 1970 as well as the FA Cup in 1966.

After becoming Harry Catterick's first signing from Blackpool in 1962 for £27,000 - a then-record fee for a goalkeeper - West went on to make 402 appearances and was capped three times by England.
