You can try to hide, you can try to run
Yet it won’t look nice and it won’t be fun
If you meet that son of an Irish gun
Whose name is Tony Dunne

Rest in peace.

My old man raved about Tony Dunne, said he was one of our best ever full backs. Wish I'd seen him play.

RIP Tony

Tony Dunne was a fantastic right back. Johnny Giles included him in his best ever United 11 and rightly so.
R.I.P Tony .

RIP Tony Dunne.

Him and fellow full back and Irishman Shay Brennan started for united in the 1968 European Cup. Both now sadly passed away.

Probably first name on the team sheet under Sir Matt. Certainly rate him amongst our best fullbacks. Very quick and good going forward. Unsung hero as someone has already mentioned. Only 33 caps for Rep of Ireland is an injustice imo.

Amongst the best full backs Utd have ever had. Could pass the ball short, long and his pace was scary, his positioning was usually faultless, a winger rarely got past him twice such was his recovery speed and tackling ability. Another attacking Utd., full back before the word was invented.

He looks like a good full back from his face alone, I wish I can find his clips to see him play in internet.
