Former Liverpool chairman and owner David Moores has died at the age of 76.
Moores was chairman at Anfield between 1991 and 2007, then became honorary life president after selling his majority stake to Americans Tom Hicks and George Gillet.
The club said in a statement it was "deeply saddened" to learn of Moores' death.
"The thoughts of everyone at Liverpool FC are with David's family and friends at this difficult time," it added.
Moores oversaw Liverpool's entry into the inaugural Premier League in 1992, and was at the helm as the club won 10 major trophies, including the Champions League in 2005 under manager Rafael Benitez.
