Gordon McQueen, the former Manchester United, Leeds United and Scotland defender, has died aged 70 after suffering with dementia.
His daughter, the Sky Sports presenter Hayley McQueen, announced the news on social media.
“Beyond heartbroken to announce we have lost our wonderful dad,” she wrote on Instagram. “I thought when the day came I’d be prepared & feel a sense of relief that he is no longer trying to battle this awful disease but I just feel numb. I’m hoping we can now remember him for the man he was & not the man he became this last few years. We thought we were losing him when home palliative care came to look after him back in December, we were distraught but being the big strong man that he is, battled on for many months.”
