West Bromwich Albion are saddened to learn of the passing of former player Robert Hopkins.
Robert made more than 80 appearances for the Baggies in the late 1980s, having joined from Manchester City.
Birmingham-born 'Hoppy' most notably enjoyed two spells at Blues, where he played 207 times and was later inducted into the club's Hall of Fame.
He also turned out for Aston Villa, Shrewsbury Town, Instant Dict (Hong-Kong), Colchester United, and non-league sides Solihull and Bromsgrove.
Albion have confirmed they will wear black armbands during their Emirates FA Cup third-round tie game against Swansea City today (Sunday, January 11).
The thoughts of everyone at The Hawthorns are with his friends, family and loved ones. Rest in peace, Robert.
