Ince, a former Manchester United, Liverpool and West Ham star, was the first black man to captain England. He won 53 caps for his country and is perhaps best remembered for his starring role in a dogged goalless draw with Italy which sent Glenn Hoddle’s side to the 1998 World Cup.
Ince came through the ranks at the Hammers before a then big-money move to United in 1989. After spending six, trophy-laden years at Old Trafford, he was transferred to Inter Milan before returning to England to play for United’s rivals, Liverpool.
Further stints at Middlesbrough and Wolves followed before Ince brought the curtain down on a playing career which saw him win two Premier Leagues, two FA Cups and a League Cup, among other silverware.
After successful spells in charge of Macclesfield and MK Dons, he went on to manager clubs including Blackburn Rovers, Notts County and Blackpool.
His last role was as manager of Reading, a post he left in 2023.
