SAD: FOOTBALLING LEGEND PASSES AWAY

Denis Law, the Manchester United and Scotland legend, nicknamed ‘the King’, has died at the age of 84, his family have confirmed.

A former winner of the Ballon d’Or, Law was one of the greatest players in Manchester United’s history, spending 11 years at Old Trafford and his passing will lead to an outpouring of grief in the world of football.

The forward, who began his career at Huddersfield Town, was twice the most expensive player in Britain during a glittering, silverware-laden career that also saw him play for Manchester City and Torino in Italy.

But it is his time at United that is most fondly remembered. Law scored 237 goals in 404 appearances for United between 1962 and 1973 and was also dubbed ‘the Lawman’ during his playing career.

He still holds the record for the most goals scored in a single season by a United player with 46 and he was the last surviving member of the so-called ‘Holy Trinity’ alongside Sir Bobby Charlton and George Best.

Law, who had been battling dementia, remains the only Scottish player to have won the Ballon d’Or, picking up the award in 1964. He won two league titles, as well as the FA Cup, but missed United’s first European Cup triumph in 1968 because of injury.

Law’s brilliance was not confined to club football, he was also a star for Scotland and is the country’s joint record goalscorer with 30 goals in 55 games on the international stage.

A brilliant footballer and right to use the world legend.

RIP.

An incredible player for any era; but for those, like me, who saw him play, Dennis Law was a legend in his own right…!

Condolences to those who knew him and may he rest in peace…!

Truly world class, rip Dennis Law

Whether you love or hate Man united, Dennis Law was a FOOTBALL genius and a real football legend.

My condolences to his family.

RIP great man.

Shouldn’t speak ill of the dead but for him I’ll make an exception.

Went to his grave without ever saying sorry for destroying what was then a City star’s future career.
Those old enough to remember won’t miss him.

Aye,poor old Steve Gammon was never the same again after that horrific takle in the early 60s.
Never forgiven him (Law) till now, so rip lad!

RIP The King.

Back in the day I was involved with providing outside broadcast circuits for TV and Radio. Denis Law was working for BBC radio at the time and I had the pleasure of having a cuppa with him and a good chat. Absolute gent, and what a player. RIP genius.

Most of the players from that era where character players united had probably the top 3 in law best and charlton he was a proud scot too in there international team along with gemill bremner Rip man ,
enjoyed watching you play.

Back in the day when i supported the National Team, Law was a great hero of mine. Think he was the only Scot to win the Ballon d Or . The term ledgend is thrown around like confetti nowadays but in his case it’s appropriate.
RIP Lawman and thanks for the memories.

RIP Lawman and thanks for the memories.

Law was also a boyhood hero of mine as part of the Holy Trinity. He was also my Scottish Dad's favourite footballer. Thanks for the memories, indeed.

As Ketteringblues said, I wasn't there but my father was, broke the leg of a City player and ruined his career, not losing any sleep over him passing.
