Man Utd legend Gordon McQueen left huge sum to his family including Sky Sports presenter daughter after tragic death

His children will share the proceeds from any sale of his house

MANCHESTER UNITED legend Gordon McQueen left £320,000 to his family —  with a chunk going to Sky Sports presenter daughter Hayley, documents show.

The 1970s Man Utd and Leeds defender died last year aged 70 following dementia thought to have been caused by heading the ball.

He made more than 300 appearances for the two clubs and played 30 times for Scotland.

Probate documents reveal his estate was worth £326,272.

He and widow Yvonne lived in a £400,000 house in Hutton Rudby, Yorks.

He named her and their three children — Hayley, 44, Anna Forbes and Edward McQueen as executors of his will.

All four will share his estate and the proceeds of any house sale.

The family is selling some mementos including cup medals.

They donated his brain to aid sports injury research.

McQueen started his career at St Mirren before moving to Leeds.

During his time in Yorkshire, he played alongside club greats, including Billy Bremner, Johnny Giles and Norman Hunter.

He was also featured under legendary manager Don Revie on the famous Leeds side, which won the league in 1974.

The Scot later joined United in 1978 and went on to make 184 appearances for the club, winning the FA Cup in 1983.

McQueen also finished as a runner-up in the cup in 1975 and again in 1979, and twice was selected in the PFA Team of the Year.

He won 30 caps for Scotland and was inducted into the Scottish Football Hall of Fame in 2012.

His daughter Hayley has also enjoyed a successful career in sport and is a regular broadcaster on Sky Sports.
