Arsenal chairman Sir Chips Keswick has paid tribute to Peter Hill-Wood, following his death at the age of 82.

Hill-Wood was a former Gunners chairman and oversaw much of the Arsene Wenger era.

Keswick said, "The contribution Peter has made to this football club will never be forgotten.

"Peter was always a huge Arsenal fan and was chairman for 31 years, following his father Denis and grandfather Sir Samuel. His ambition was always to do what was right and best for Arsenal Football Club. He was a key figure in the formation of the Premier League and our move from Highbury to Emirates Stadium. Peter will be missed by us all. My thoughts are with his wife Sally and her family at this sad time."
