Gordon McQueen: # 37 MOT 100 Greatest LUFC Players Ever

Gordon McQueen (1972-1978)

Born 1952 and capped 30 times by Scotland the towering centre-half played initially for St. Mirren in 1970 before joining LUFC as Jack Charlton's replacement in 1972 for £30,000, where he became first choice in the championship winning 1974-75 team. Full Scottish honours followed quickly before a British Record £495,000 took him to Man U in 1978, where he won an FA Cup Winners medal. His aerial power made him a formidable opponent but his career was blighted by injury, firstly a bad Achilles tendon injury at Leeds and later a spate of injuries at Manchester. He made 171 starts and scored 18 goals.
