Tony Dunne R.I.P
Sadly died today. One of our 78 promotion winning side and the left back when I first started watching Wanderers. He replaced Don Mcalister presumably.
Described as a Rolls Royce of a player in his Utd days. He was always our Mr Reliable and never seemed to flap under pressure. R.I.P

Re: Tony Dunne R.I.P
Really sad to hear this. As with Harry, Dunne was our Left Back when I first started going in 74. As far as I knew he'd been there forever - it'd be a further couple of years before I got to learn of his illustrious past.
On a personal note, in 1977 when I was 10/11, a number of Wanderers players took part in a fund raising Golf day at Dunscar GC on behalf of Eagley Sports Club and Tony Dunne allowed me to caddy for him. My two abiding memories are; a/ turning his trolley over on the 16th, and b/ him giving me a fiver at the end of it. It was a little like somebody handing you £500 in today's money.
As a player I remember him as never doing anything flashy and never doing any rash. Always calm. Always composed and accurate.
RIP Tony.

Re: Tony Dunne R.I.P
He was a very good polished full back, I started watching the whites in 1975, my 1st game being Sunderland at home with 42,000 on and big Sam's bullet header from a Peter Thompson corner, Tony Dunne played in that game.
RIP Tony.

Rest in peace Tony. Another chapter of Whites history closed.
