ENGLAND World Cup winner Roger Hunt left more than half a million pounds to his family.
The former Liverpool striker, 83, who died last September, bequeathed his £539,110 fortune to second wife Rowan.
Roger scored 18 goals in 34 games for his country, including three during England’s glorious 1966 World Cup campaign.
He was part of the strike pairing alongside final hat-trick hero Geoff Hurst.
Sir Geoff often credited Hunt’s quick celebration of the controversial third goal in the final’s 4-2 victory over West Germany for convincing the referee to allow it.
Coming from a family that ran a haulage business, he played for non-league Stockton Heath – now Warrington Town – before he was signed by the Reds in 1959.

He married his first wife Patricia in 1959 and they had two children David and Julie, before later marrying Rowan.
