Ernie Hunt is pictured playing for Coventry City in their 3-1 win against Leeds United.
He was born on St Patrick’s Day, 1943, and consequently christened Roger ‘Patrick’ Hunt.
He was known as "Ernie" – a contraction of Ernest, his father's name – to avoid confusion
with Liverpool and England striker Roger Hunt.
Ernie Hunt died on 20 June 2018 aged 75 in a care home. He had been suffering from Alzheimer's disease.
