Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

He's dealt with a lot health wise, he was treated for cancer a few years ago IIRC....

Very sad indeed
Great servant to Scotland, Leeds & Man Utd
He was actually a very good pundit / summariser in his day.

I think he made his debut in a game at Love Street against us, he was up against Joe Baker who got so frustrated at getting nothing from big Gordon he managed to get himself sent off ! Some player.

Iconic figure in a Scotland shirt - his injury in the Home Internationals prior to Argentina 78 cost us as I recall. I think he might even have been injured by clattering into the post trying to keep out a bizarre Willie Donachie OG at Hampden....
Keep fighting big fellah.

Very sad, my best mate at school back in the 1970’s was a massive fan and had his picture all over his bedroom walls

I was a big blonde haired centre half back in the day. Gordon McQueen was one of my heroes. Very sad news indeed and the same form of the horrible disease that took my dad almost three years ago.

Still say that team leading up to qualification, from 76 to 78 was the best Scotland ever had, maybe even will have. McQueen was a huge part of that.

There are so many ex players from yesteryear who have got Dementia. For every guy like McQueen who have gone public, there are many more who keep it within the family. Tragic for the big fellae.

I heard him on Radio Scotland talking to Chic Young doing a favourite 11 players piece, and he didn't sound well at all. I think that was over the festive period. Real shame.
