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


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.
