Former Manchester United forward, Alex Dawson, one of the club’s famed Busby Babes, has died aged 80, the Premier League club announced on Friday.
Aberdeen-born Dawson was a trainee under United’s legendary boss Matt Busby in the 1950s.
He scored on his club debut as a 17-year-old in a win against Burnley in 1957.
“Our deepest sympathies are with the loved ones of former United forward and Busby Babe, Alex Dawson, who has sadly passed away at the age of 80,” a United statement said.
“He will be fondly remembered by all of us at the club. May he rest in peace.”
