Manchester United legend Tony Dunne dies aged 78

Tony Dunne, who was part of the Manchester United side who won the European Cup in 1968, has died at the age of 78.

Dunne joined the Red Devils from Shelbourne in 1960 and went on to play in 535 games, a number that sees him sit eighth on the club's all-time appearances list.

The full-back was twice a league champion during his 13 years at Old Trafford – helping claim the title in 1965 and then again in 1967 – as well as the FA Cup.

Dunne featured in every round as Matt Busby's squad were crowned champions of Europe in 1968, becoming the first English team to lift the famous trophy in the process.
