Football: Former West Ham boss Roeder dies aged 65

Roeder was first diagnosed with the tumour in 2003 while in charge of West Ham, who he led to an impressive seventh-placed finish in the Premier League just a year earlier.He had to undergo surgery and a period of recovery before returning to the Hammers after they were relegated to the Championship later that year.

He resigned in 2007 and went on to manage Norwich for two years before his last role in the game as a managerial advisor with Stevenage in 2016.AdvertisementRoeder captained QPR in the 1982 FA Cup final against Tottenham, which they lost following a replay, and led them to the Second Division title in 1983.

League Managers Association chairman Howard Wilkinson said:"Glenn was such an unassuming, kind gentleman who demonstrated lifelong dedication to the game."Not one to court headlines, his commitment and application to his work at all levels warrants special mention. Former England striker Gary Lineker called Roeder:"A real football man who had a great career both on the field and in the dugout".
