Legendary footballer, Raymond Kopa, who was regarded as one of the
finest footballers of his generation and was a key player in the Real
Madrid side that dominated Europe throughout the late 1950s, winning the
Ballon d'Or in 1958, has died aged 85.
According to Dailymail Sports,
the French football federation has already paid tribute to the
attacking midfielder who was also a star for the France national team
and helped his country to third place at the 1958 World Cup.

In 1970, Kopa became the first footballer ever to be honoured with
the Legion d'honneur - the highest civil merit awarded by the French
government.
France Football Federation president, Noel Le Graet said in a statement: 'The death of Raymond Kopa plunges the Federation into immense sadness.

'His is a terrible loss for French football. He was a symbol
and a front runner. His career with his clubs as well as with France was
exceptional.
'Everyone will remember his exploits that will remain
unmatched. He was a player and a man of class. I extend my deepest
condolences to his family and loved ones.'
