Manchester United legend Dunne dies at 78

Former Manchester United defender Tony Dunne, who played in their first European Cup-winning side in 1968, has died at the age of 78.

The Ireland left-back was part of the team that defeated Benfica 4-1 at Wembley in the 1968 final alongside George Best and Bobby Charlton, and under the great United manager Matt Busby.

Dunne was signed by Busby for £5,000 ($6,400, 5,600 euros) in 1960 and spent 13 years at Old Trafford, also winning two First Division championships, in 1964-65 and 1966-67, and the 1962-63 FA Cup. He scored only two goals. (Punch)
