Former Liverpool captain Ron Yeats, who led the club to their first FA Cup and two top-flight titles, has died aged 86, the Premier League side announced on Saturday.

The ex-Scotland defender was part of the Liverpool side that won the Second Division title under Bill Shankly in 1962 and went on to win the old First Division twice, the FA Cup in 1965 and the Charity Shield three times.

He had been living with Alzheimer's disease in recent years. Liverpool FC is mourning the passing of legendary former captain Ron Yeats," read a club statement. "In the words of Bill Shankly, a 'colossus' in club history. "The thoughts of everyone at LFC are with Ron's wife, Ann, all of his family and his friends at this incredibly sad time. "Flags across club sites will be lowered to half-mast today as a mark of respect." Yeats was signed from Dundee United in July 1961 by Shankly, who invited journalists to "take a walk around him, he's a colossus" at the 6ft 2in (1.87 metre) defender's unveiling.

Yates took over as captain within six months and went on to make 454 appearances over more than a decade at Anfield. His record 417-match run as Reds skipper was only broken by Steven Gerrard in the last decade.
