Gordon McQueen RIP

Post by tamada » June 15, 2023, 7:21 pm

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.

McQueen was at the heart of the team for most of the 1973-74 campaign when Leeds won the league championship after beginning with a run of 29 matches without defeat.
