Sumner played 105 times over 12 years, scoring 22 goals as an attacking midfielder.
In one game, while leading New Zealand to the 1982 World Cup, he scored a national record six goals against Fiji.
Former All Whites manager Kevin Fallon coached Sumner in the late 80's. He says he was a real warrior.
