Former Leeds United defender Gordon McQueen has died, aged 70, following a battle with dementia.
McQueen signed for the Whites from St Mirren in 1972 and was immediately plugged into the great Don Revie team, helping Leeds reach the 1973 European Cup Winners' Cup final against AC Milan in his first year, before winning First Division the following season, when he formed a formidable partnership with Norman Hunter in central defence.
His impressive form continues after Revie's exit as Leeds reached the 1975 European Cup final, for which he was suspended for after he red card against Barcelona in the semi-final second leg at Camp Nou.
