Following his retirement, he was a goalkeeping coach with England, Chelsea, Newcastle United, Fulham and Manchester City.

“Our thoughts go out to the friends and family of former City goalkeeping coach Peter Bonetti along with everyone at @ChelseaFC following sad news of his passing,” Manchester City said in a tweet.

Petr Cech, who would go on to break some of Bonetti’s records at Chelsea, mourned his death on Twitter.

“Really sad news for everyone from @ChelseaFC family,” he said. “R.I.P. “The Cat”… Legend.”

Former England captain and television presenter Gary Lineker described Bonetti as a “terrific goalkeeper” for the club.

“So sorry to hear that Peter Bonetti has passed away,” he said. “Got to know him when he was England’s goalkeeping coach and he was a delightful bloke.”
