Late ex-footballer Gordon McQueen left over £320,000 to his family when he died – with a big chunk set to go to his Sky Sports presenter daughter Hayley.

The Seventies hero – who played for Manchester United and Leeds United – died aged 70 in June last year.

He made more than 300 appearances for the two clubs and also played 30 times for Scotland.

He was a member of the 1978 World Cup squad.

McQueen died following a battle with dementia thought to have been caused by repeated heading of the ball.

His probate documents reveal his estate was worth £326,272.

He and widow Yvonne lived in a £400,000 house in Hutton Rudby, North Yorks.

He named her and their three children TV presenter Hayley, 44, Anna Forbes and Edward McQueen as executors of his will written in February 2022.

All four are named as trustees too meaning they will share his estate and the proceeds of any future sale of the house, as reported by Need To Know.

The 30 items valued at £60,000 include his 1975 European Cup runners-up medal, his 1973 European Cup Winners Cup runners-up medal and his 1974 Division One League Championship plaque.

The sale on October 1 is being held by auctioneers Graham Budd of Wellingborough, Northants.

Daughter Hayley said an inquest is to be held into her father’s death after a coroner ordered an investigation following the results of a post-mortem examination.

His family donated his brain to help medical research being conducted by Professor Willie Stewart, a consultant neuropathologist at Glasgow University and a leading expert in brain injury in sport.

Hayley added the family did not plan to take legal action against football authorities if a link between her dad’s illness and the sport is determined.

A preliminary hearing in the inquest has already taken place and a full hearing will be held in the coming months.
