Former Manchester United player David Sadler has been awarded a retrospective league medal after helping the club win the 1964/65 title.
Sadler was initially denied a championship medal, with rules stating a player must feature 14 times to qualify. The now-77-year-old fell just short of that marker.
However, the EFL have now revised their rules and any player with five or more appearances is eligible for a league medal. That has been applied historically, making Sadler a worthy recipient of an accolade.
Sadler played 272 times for United across a 10-year spell at Old Trafford before featuring for Charlton Athletic and Preston North End. He was awarded his medal in his home in Greater Manchester this week.

On receiving his medal, he said: “To say I was surprised after all this time to receive this medal would be putting it mildly.
"It has brought back many happy and exciting memories. Playing for Manchester United was the best time of my life, and it's a very nice feeling to be recognised all these years later.”
Sadler is the second of 19 players who will be honoured for their contribution to the club’s success following the medal presentation to David Gaskell in June. 14 more players will be honoured and have been invited to Old Trafford for an on-pitch presentation during United’s match against Nottingham Forest on August 26 for their contributions between 1952 and 1975.
The players, or members of their family, to be honoured are: Harry McShane, Frank Clempson, Jack Crompton,
