United plan tribute for Cantwell

MANCHESTER United will hold a minute’s silence prior to tomorrow’s derby clash with Man City at Old Trafford in memory of former skipper Noel Cantwell.

The 73-year-old former Irish international died in Peterborough early yesterday after a long illness.

As captain of the Red Devils 1963 FA Cup-winning side and a cornerstone of Sir Matt Busby’s rebuilding work following the Munich Air Disaster, Corkman Cantwell holds a special place in United folklore although he was only a peripheral member of the squad which won the league in 1967.
