Scotland, Manchester United and Leeds United player Gordon McQueen dies aged 70
Former Scotland, Manchester United and Leeds United defender Gordon McQueen has died at the age of 70 after suffering from dementia.
McQueen was diagnosed with dementia in 2021, with his family saying at the time that he wanted "footballers of today's generation to know there may be risks with persistent heading of the ball".A statement from his family read: "It is with the heaviest of hearts we announce the passing of Gordon, who died at home in the early morning today, leaving behind his wife Yvonne, daughters Hayley and Anna, son Eddie and his beloved grandchildren Rudi, Etta and Ayla.
"The disease may have taken him too soon but he definitely lived life to the full, the ultimate entertainer, the absolute heart and soul of every occasion, the most fun dad anyone could wish for. 'You don't go into football thinking you're going to get brain damage' - Hayley McQueen speaks to BBC Breakfast about dementia in football
McQueen also scored three times on Leeds' run to the 1975 European Cup final, but was suspended for the final defeat by Bayern Munich.
