Peter Robinson, the legendary former Liverpool chief executive and secretary, dies aged 86 - with Jamie Carragher leading the tributes and the club hailing off-field great as 'a pivotal behind-the-scenes figure'

Liverpool's former chief executive and secretary Peter Robinson has died aged 86, it was sadly announced today.

The club legend worked at Anfield from 1965 to 2000, and oversaw a stretch which saw the team win a total of 29 trophies.

Over the 35-year period, Robinson became integral to the success under Bill Shankly, Bob Paisley, Joe Fagan and Sir Kenny Dalglish.

Robinson was also at the helm for the tenures of Graeme Souness and Roy Evans, and stepped away on glowing terms at the turn of the century.

The Reds' great is also highly acclaimed on Merseyside for having never sacked a manager during his time in charge.
