  • Denis Law, a humble Aberdeen native, overcame a hereditary sight problem to become a football legend. As part of Manchester United's iconic trinity with Bobby Charlton and George Best, Law's extraordinary goal-scoring prowess earned him a place in football history. This authorised biography, featuring insights from Sir Alex Ferguson and others, highlights Law's journey from barefoot beginnings to Britain's most expensive player. His lasting impact is commemorated in the famous Trinity statue outside Old Trafford, symbolising his status as a football great.
    Director: Robin Bextor

      An absolute legend, he'd be worth a fortune these days - had it all. First touch, header, run beyond the back line, fox in the box. And Social Media would have loved him as he was funny as f"ck.

    I grew up adoring Denis Law as a Manchester United great. Many years later watching this video I now realise what an intelligent man he is, well grounded, extremely articulate and obviously very focussed on his career at the time. If only George Best had been similar... Thanks so very much Denis for the footballing joy you gave us!😊.

      They need to watch the films on the Munich air disaster to see what the fuck they're playing for and what those KIDS did for the club after. To see that those KIDS were 10x the men under 100x the adversity as they are.
      The problem is these players have no attachment or care for the club or the fans.

    My late father used to make suits for him. I went with my dad to his house for fittings. He was the King of the Stretford End. I was a City fan but I still loved him. You couldn’t help it he was a god at football and oh so down to earth and friendly. He used to live in Chorlton cum Hardy in those days. Once when we went to take his suit for him because he was going to go on holiday the next day and as we left he came out of the house the same time we did to pass by the police station to ask them to keep an eye on the house when he was away. I remember it like yesterday. He waved us goodbye and smiled at us. What a lovely man. After his career ended he was also a wonderful pundit on the BBC.

    My favourite Dennis Law story, as a Liverpool supporter, I remember being at Anfield just after the Shankly gates were installed, Dennis was there looking at them over, and a quick witted scouser shouted out, "Hey Dennis, It's A Gate", he turned and wagged his finger with that grin on his face. He appreciated the humour.

    The partnership between George Best, Bobby Charlton, and Dennis Law in the Manchester United team of the mid 1960s could be considered the greatest in the history of the club. There is v good reason Dennis Law was aptly nicknamed 'The King'. He was the greatest finisher of his era. In the '63-'64 season he scored 46 goals, including 30 in the league, and would have more had he not missed almost 20 games through injury. Until persistent knee trouble began to dent his speed on the turn, his strike record for United was exemplary, averaging rather better than three goals every four matches in his first five seasons at Old Trafford.
    During that time, he helped to bring the club two league championships, the FA Cup and eventually triumph in Europe. Playing with the ends of his sleeves clasped in his fists, his right arm rising to salute his goals, his hair a shock of blond, Dennis Law gave the fans an idol to worship. To them, he was simply "The King". R.I.P.

    Even Mr Motson made mention of ‘shenanigans’ in ‘66… but not Mr Law. He can’t remember..Class. So many greats in that.
