Former Manchester United and Arsenal striker the 'Hot Shot' David Herd dies aged 82

Former Manchester United and Arsenal striker David Herd has died at the age of 82.

The Scotland international was a significant figure for United as the club was rebuilt following the 1958 Munich air disaster. He will be remembered when both teams wear black armbands during Sunday's Premier League fixture at home to Stoke, another of his former teams.

Herd is perhaps best remembered for scoring twice in United's 3-1 FA Cup final defeat of Leicester in 1963. The trophy was their first since the Munich tragedy, and his goals contributed to the tally of 145 that makes him United's 13th highest goalscorer.
