RIP DENIS LAW
Denis Law, the former Manchester United and Scotland centre-forward, has passed away at the age of 84.
Law scored 237 goals in 404 appearances during an 11-year stay at United, forming part of the ‘United Trinity’ alongside team-mates Sir Bobby Charlton and George Best (immortalized in a statue at Old Trafford), and also winning the Ballon d’Or in 1964 ! Known as ‘The King’, Law lifted the First Division title with United in 1965 and 1967, and was part of the European Cup triumph over Benfica in 1968. Law is United’s third all-time leading goalscorer behind Wayne Rooney and Bobby Charlton and is also Scotland’s joint-leading scorer alongside Kenny Dalglish with 30 goals in 55 international caps.
He was considered not only as one of the greatest players in Great Britain, but also as a man with flair, spirit and love for the game. RIP Denis Law.
