The former Aberdeen and Arsenal defender Willie Young has died at the age of 73. Young played more than 180 games for the Dons before going on to lift the FA Cup with the Gunners in 1979. He is perhaps best remembered for forcing a change in the laws of the game and the creation of the "professional foul" following his tackle on West Ham forward Paul Allen in the 1980 final of the competition.
