Former Swansea City defender John Moore has died at the age of 79.

Liverpool-born Moore was a product of Everton's academy and had spells with Stoke City and Shrewsbury Town before joining the Swans in 1973.

He made 31 league appearances during a two-year spell with the club before retiring due to a knee injury.

A Swansea statement read: "Everyone at Swansea City sends their sincerest condolences to John's friends and family at this sad time."
