Gordon McQueen was a no-nonsense lynchpin whose defensive pairing with Norman Hunter proved crucial as Revie's boys notched up a 29 match unbeaten run on the way to the First Division title in 1973/74. He also excelled at the back the following season as he helped Leeds United reach the 1975 European Cup Final against Bayern Munich in Paris.

His six years with the Whites ended in controversy when he moved across the Pennines to arch rivals Manchester United for £500,000 in February 1978.
