West Bromwich Albion are heartbroken to learn of the passing of Craig Shakespeare. 

A midfielder in his playing days, he made more than 120 appearances across three years at The Hawthorns between 1990 and 1993. 

Craig - who also turned out for Walsall, Sheffield Wednesday, Grimsby Town and Scunthorpe United - then dedicated close to a decade of service to the Baggies in various off-field roles, including a stint as Caretaker Manager in 2006. 

He will be sorely missed by all in the sport, and the thoughts of everyone at Albion are with his family, friends and loved ones. 

Rest in Peace, Shakey.
