"Former Tottenham, Derby, Hearts and Scotland midfielder Dave Mackay has died, aged 80.
He won 10 major honours as a player in British and European football.
The Edinburgh-born player also won 22 caps for his country and wasd 'Footballer of the Year' in both Scotland and England.
Paying tribute, Spurs said: "He was one of our greatest ever players and a man who never failed to inspire those around him."

A sad loss. He was a great player and an inspiration. I wonder what he would have thought of the modern player with their soft ways.
He was in the great teams of the sixties when I started watching Spurs.
R.I.P. Legend.

R.I.P. Dave Mackay.
Sadly another legendary gentleman of the beautiful game passes away, He plied his trade in a time when the game was far tougher, played with honour and fairness, Dave Mackay was just one of the many humble gentlemen that graced the field of thier trade and entertained the thousands that, week in/out flocked to the terraces to chear on thier heros. Dave Mackay will live forever in the hearts of many supporters north and south of the border.
Gone but never forgotten.

The great man would waltz into any team in the world today!
Will be sorely missed.
