Liverpool: Peter Robinson, former Anfield chief executive, dies aged 86

Liverpool have paid tribute to the "pivotal" role played by their former chief executive Peter Robinson, who has died at the age of 86.

Robinson joined the Reds in 1965 and was chief executive from 1992 to 2000.

In his 35 years at the club Liverpool won 29 major trophies, including 12 league titles and four European Cups.

"Always preferring to avoid the spotlight, he was nevertheless one of the most respected and admired people in the sport," a club statement read.

"Robinson provided invaluable support and built the infrastructure around all the managers he worked alongside, from Bill Shankly in his earliest days at the club to Gerard Houllier.
