Birmingham City have announced former winger Robert Hopkins has died at the age of 64.

Hopkins, who was affectionately known to former team-mates and fans as ‘Hoppo’, played 207 times for Birmingham City across two spells and was part of the squad which won promotion to the First Division in 1984-85.

He was one of seven former players inducted into the Birmingham City Hall of Fame in 2012.

In between his two spells at St Andrew’s, Hopkins played for West Bromwich Albion between 1987 and 1989, making 83 league appearances.

The Baggies will wear black armbands in tribute to Hopkins for their FA Cup third round against Swansea on Sunday.

He also appeared for clubs including Aston Villa, Manchester City, Shrewsbury Town and Colchester United.
