Everton great Alex Young has died in Edinburgh at the age of 80.

The Scot, who won the title with the club in 1963 and the FA Cup three years later, earned the nickname The Golden Vision.

He made 273 appearances, having joined from Hearts in 1960, and scored 87 times before departing for Glentoran in 1968.
