West Brom and Coventry legend Cyrille Regis has passed away aged just 59.
The former striker died on Sunday night following a heart attack, reports the Birmingham Mail.
Regis started his career at the Hawthorns, going on to make 241 appearances for the Baggies, scoring 81 goals.
The French Guiana-born forward also won five caps for England between 1977-1984.
He moved to Coventry that same year, netting 47 times in seven seasons at Highfield Road.
Regis also played for Aston Villa and Wolves before retiring in 1996 after leaving Chester City.
In 2004 Regis was voted as West Bromwich Albion’s all time Cult Hero in a BBC Sport poll, gaining 65% of the vote.
In the same year he was named as one of West Bromwich Albion’s 16 greatest players, in a poll organised as part of the club’s 125th anniversary celebrations.
He was appointed Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the 2008 Birthday Honours.
The news broke on Monday morning through the WBA Former Players Twitter account.
His last tweet was posted to mark Coventry City’s legendary FA Cup win in 1987 over Tottenham Hotspur.
