Busby Babe and Man United great Dunne dies
Tony Dunne, one of Manchester United's European Cup heroes of 1968, has died at the age of 78.
Left-back Dunne was part of the Red Devils side that famously lifted the trophy for first time after defeating Benfica 4-1 at Wembley.
The Republic of Ireland international spent 13 years at Old Trafford, having been signed by Sir Matt Busby for STG5,000 in 1960, also winning two First Division titles and an FA Cup.
United announced his death on Twitter, declaring him a great of the club.
"One of our greatest-ever full-backs. An integral part of the 1968 European Cup-winning side.
"A player who made 535 appearances in the red shirt of Manchester United. Our heartfelt condolences go to the loved ones of Tony Dunne. May he rest in peace."
An unsung hero of Busby's trailblazing team of the 1960s, Dunne is one of the most revered players in the history of the club.
Only Ryan Giggs, Bobby Charlton, Paul Scholes, Bill Foulkes, Gary Neville, Wayne Rooney and Alex Stepney have played more games for United.
