Leicester City Football Club is saddened to announce the passing of Jackie Sinclair, one of the clubs greats of the 1960's.

John Evens Wright Sinclair, better known as 'Jackie', joined City in 1965, a £25,000 signing from Dunfermline, by then manager, Matt Gillies.

The pacey winger forged an instantly successful combination with Derek Dougan at the forefront of City's attack, which would go on to earn him his first full Scotland cap in his very first season at Filbert Street.

During a two year spell at the club, Sinclair went on to score a hugely impressive 53 goals in just 113 games for the Foxes, before moving to Newcastle United during the 1967/1968 season.
