Liverpool, where Hunt spent most of his playing career, said he died on Monday after a long illness.
Hunt scored 285 goals in 492 appearances, making him Liverpool's second-highest goalscorer of all time. He won the league with Liverpool in 1964 and 1966 _ the same year he won the World Cup.
Hunt scored three goals in six appearances at the tournament. He played in the 4-2 victory over West Germany in the final at Wembley Stadium for England's only major football title.
