Man Utd and Scotland Legend Denis Law Dies Aged 84

Denis Law, celebrated as one of football's greatest forwards, has died at the age of 84. Born in Aberdeen, Scotland, Law's illustrious career spanned clubs including Huddersfield Town, Manchester City, Torino, and most notably, Manchester United.

Joining Manchester United in 1962 for a then-record fee, Law became an integral part of the club's history. Over 11 seasons, he netted 237 goals in 404 appearances, making him the third-highest scorer in United's history. He formed the legendary 'Holy Trinity' alongside Sir Bobby Charlton and George Best, a partnership immortalized with a statue at Old Trafford.

In 1964, Law was honored with the Ballon d'Or, distinguishing him as the only Scottish player to receive the award. His tenure at United was marked by significant achievements, including two First Division titles, an FA Cup victory, and contributing to the club's maiden European Cup win in 1968, though an injury sidelined him for the final.

Internationally, Law earned 55 caps for Scotland, scoring 30 goals—a record he shares as the nation's top scorer. His contributions to football were recognized with inductions into various halls of fame and the Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in 2016.

In August 2021, Law publicly revealed his diagnosis with Alzheimer's disease and vascular dementia. He passed away on January 17, 2025, in Aberdeen. Manchester United and the broader football community have expressed deep condolences, celebrating his remarkable impact on the sport.

Denis Law's legacy endures through his extraordinary contributions to football, inspiring generations to come.
