Fulham players walk out wearing special George Cohen shirts before Boxing Day clash with Crystal Palace - in tribute to the club legend and 1966 World Cup winner after his death at 83 last week

Fulham's players walked out wearing special George Cohen shirts before their Premier League encounter with Crystal Palace at Selhurst park - as tributes continue to pour in for the 1966 World Cup winner who died this week.

A minute's silence was also held for the Fulham legend - who died aged 83 - before kick-off, while there were also tributes made at Premier League grounds across the country.

Fulham's faithful away support could be heard singing: 'George Cohen, he's one of our own'.

The hard-tackling full-back was a key member of England's team under Sir Alf Ramsey as they triumphed against West Germany in the final, which remains the Three Lions' only major tournament triumph.
