Peter Shilton: So sad to hear of the passing of Martin Peters, World Cup 1966 winner, such a gentleman and a player ahead of his time according to Sir Alf Ramsey. I played with him at England when my career started and was very fond of him, I will miss him. RIP.
Former England striker Alan Shearer: He was instrumental in England winning the World Cup in 1966. Football has lost a giant of the game, an absolute legend.
