Former Manchester United European Cup Winner Tony Dunne has died aged 78.
The Republic of Ireland full back was a member of Sir Matt Busby's 1968 European Cup side who became the first English team to win the trophy, beating Benfica 4-1 at Wembley.
Dublin born Dunne joined United from Irish side Shelbourne for £5,000 in 1960 and helped shaped United's future in the years after the Munich air disaster of 1958.
A brave, speedy defender Dunne was originally signed as cover for Noel Cantwell and Shay Brennan and his career took off after appearing in the 1963 FA Cup Final win over Leicester City at Wembley.
The Irish international also helped United win the League title in 1965 and 1967 before his crowning glory as a member of the victorious 1968 European Cup winning side who achieved immortality at Old Trafford.
