Gordon McQueen (born 26 June 1952) is a Scottish former footballer, who played as a centre-back for St. Mirren, Leeds United, Manchester United and Scotland. ==Playing career== McQueen was a goalkeeper as a schoolboy, but later switched to centre-back. He was signed at the age of 18 by St. Mirren. He soon had scouts from other clubs monitoring his progress, and it was Leeds who finally offered £30,000 in 1973, seeing him as a long-term replacement for the ageing Jack Charlton.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Gordon McQueen at )〕 Charlton played for some of the 1973 season, but had decided to quit as it drew to a close.〔 McQueen played six times in his first season〔 at Leeds but missed out on the 1973 FA Cup Final, with manager Don Revie preferring the experience of utility player Paul Madeley. With Charlton gone and Madeley used as the team's player-of-all-positions, McQueen was in the team for most of the 1973–74 season. Leeds won the league championship, going 29 games without defeat at the start of the season, and McQueen played a crucial part as Norman Hunter's defensive partner.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Gordon McQueen at Leeds United MAD )〕 At the end of the season, McQueen was called up to the Scotland squad and made his international debut against Belgium.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Gordon McQueen at Scotland the Complete record 1872 to 2005 )〕 McQueen and Hunter excelled at the back the following season, notably in Leeds' campaign in the European Cup, during which McQueen scored three goals. McQueen was suspended for the final after being sent off in the semi-final against Barcelona. Leeds lost 2–0 in the final to Bayern Munich.〔 McQueen was now a regular for Scotland; he was in the 1978 FIFA World Cup squad in Argentina but did not play due to injury. He played his last match for Scotland in 1981, attaining 30 caps and scoring 5 goals for his country.〔 In February 1978, McQueen moved from Leeds to rivals Manchester United for £495,000.〔 On signing he famously stated that '99% of players want to play for Manchester United and the rest are liars'.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Gordon McQueen '99 Percent' Quote T-Shirt )〕 He had declared only weeks earlier in Shoot magazine that he wanted to stay at Leeds United for his whole career. McQueen helped Manchester United reach the 1979 FA Cup Final, scoring a late goal as Manchester United came back from 2–0 down against Arsenal to level the scores (his 85th-minute goal cutting the deficit to 2–1), only for their opponents to wrestle the Cup back with a last-minute winner. McQueen finally gained an FA Cup winner's medal in 1983 after a replay against Brighton & Hove Albion. He also was in the team which lost the League Cup final to Liverpool in the same season. McQueen finally left Manchester United in 1985, after losing his first team place to Paul McGrath and not being included in the 1985 FA Cup Final side that beat Everton 1–0. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gordon McQueen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
