East Lothian footballer 'carved from Scottish granite' dies as tributes flood in

An East Lothian footballer who has been described as 'carved from Scottish granite' has tragically died aged 78.

Eddie Colquhoun, from Prestonpans, played for the national team nine times. The Scottish star made his Football League debut for Bury before joining West Bromwich Albion in 1967.

He then carved out a career at Sheffield United where he was made captain and went on to become a club legend. He then moved out to the US as the professional game took off in the States and attracted luminaries including Pele.
