David Gaskell, the record-breaking former goalkeeper for Manchester United, has died at the age of 84. He debuted at just 16 years old, still holding the record as the youngest player to represent the club. Gaskell enjoyed an 11-year career at United, marked by a memorable FA Cup victory in 1963. Following his time at United, he played for Wigan and Wrexham. The club expressed its condolences, remembering Gaskell as a beloved figure in the community, respected not only for his sportsmanship but also for his kindness and dedication to family.
David Gaskell leaves behind not just a remarkable sporting legacy, but an enduring example of kindness, dedication, and humility. He will be deeply missed but fondly remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
It was confirmed by the Gaskell family on Friday night that David had passed away at the age of 84. His family was his greatest joy, and his legacy will live on through them.
