McParland began his career with Dundalk before he was signed by Villa in 1952, spending close to 10 years with the club.
As well as the FA Cup win, McParland helped Villa to the Second Division title in 1959-60.
The following year, he scored the extra-time winner which secured a 3-2 aggregate victory over Rotherham United in the inaugural League Cup final.
McParland also had spells with Wolves, Plymouth Argyle and Worcester City in England, as well as Toronto Inter-Roma in Canada and US side Atlanta Chiefs.
He finished his career with Northern Irish side Glentoran, spending three years as player-manager before retiring in 1971.
McParland netted twice on his Northern Ireland debut against Wales and went on to score eight more goals during an eight-year international career.
"Our thoughts and best wishes are with the family and friends of Peter McPartland who has passed away.
"Peter represented Northern Ireland with distinction, in particular at the 1958 World Cup in Sweden. The last of our heroes from that famous era," said a statement from Northern Ireland.
