Gordon McQueen, the former Leeds United and Manchester United defender, who won 30 caps for Scotland, has died at the age of 70.
The towering centre-half came to prominence in the outstanding Leeds team of the mid-1970s. He was bought from St Mirren in 1972 and eventually took the place of 1966 World Cup winner Jack Charlton, after Charlton’s retirement and Paul Madeley’s shift from defence.
