Former Manchester United goalkeeper David Gaskell has died at the age of 84.

Gaskell became Man Utd's youngest-ever debutant in October 1956 when he was aged 16.

He made almost 100 appearances for Man Utd in over a decade, before spells at Wigan and Wrexham.

While he was a member of the Busby Babes, he was not in the squad when their plane crashed in Munich in 1958, killing eight players.

The family said in a statement: "In these past few weeks of illness, Dave was surrounded by the love and support of the many friends he made throughout his life—friends who, like so many in Wrexham and beyond, will miss him dearly.

"Dave Gaskell leaves behind not just a remarkable sporting legacy, but an enduring example of kindness, dedication, and humility. He will be deeply missed but fondly remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing him."
