TRIBUTES have been paid to Sunderland great Charlie Hurley, who has died at the age of 87.
A much-loved hero at Sunderland and Reading, Charlie Hurley, has passed away aged 87. A Republic of Ireland international, the defender played over 400 times for Sunderland after moving from Millwall. In 1964, Hurley came second to England captain Bobby Moore in the Football Writer's Association voting but was named Sunderland's Player of the Century in 2000. Gates at the Stadium of Light are named the 'Hurley Gates' in his honour.
