The football world is mourning the loss of Denis Law, one of Manchester United's most iconic players, who has passed away at the age of 84. Known as the 'King of the Stretford End,' Law was a prolific striker who captivated fans with his skill, charisma, and relentless goal-scoring ability.
Born in Aberdeen, Scotland, Law began his professional football journey with Huddersfield Town. After stints at Manchester City and Torino, he joined Manchester United in 1962. Over 11 seasons at Old Trafford, Law made 404 appearances and scored an impressive 237 goals, making him the third-highest scorer in the club's history, behind Wayne Rooney and Sir Bobby Charlton.
In 1964, Law was honored with the prestigious Ballon d'Or, cementing his status as one of the greatest players of his era. His contributions were pivotal in Manchester United's success during the 1960s, including two English league titles (1965 and 1967) and an FA Cup victory in 1963. Although he missed the 1968 European Cup final due to injury, his impact on the team’s journey to becoming the first English club to win the competition remains undeniable.
Law’s influence extended beyond club football. Representing the Scotland national team, he earned 55 caps and scored 30 goals, a record that highlighted his extraordinary talent and dedication to the sport. His performances inspired countless fans and solidified his place as one of Scotland's greatest footballers.
Manchester United released a heartfelt tribute, stating, "Denis Law’s passing marks a profound loss for the football community. His extraordinary talent and unwavering spirit made him a beloved figure for fans and players alike. Our thoughts are with his family during this difficult time."
In recent years, Law openly shared his battle with Alzheimer's and vascular dementia, using his platform to raise awareness about these conditions. His family expressed gratitude for the outpouring of support, saying, "Denis was deeply loved, and his legacy will live on in the hearts of football fans worldwide."
