There is a photograph that tells you everything about what Manchester United’s supporters thought of Denis Law. It was taken moments after he had scored the goal he always wished he hadn’t at Old Trafford.

The FM and broadcaster Hugh Keevins remember the football legend as 'outstanding' and 'a panther in the penalty box.'

Describing Denis Law as the "King of the Stretford End," Manchester United has led tributes to one of its greatest players following confirmation of his death at 84.

But every time a young Alex McLeish watched Denis Law on TV that’s where he headed. Whether it was Manchester United ’s run to the 1968 European Cup Final - he missed the actual final itself through injury - or when Scotland became unofficial world champions by beating England a year before – he was mesmerised by the iconic striker.

At Manchester United Law scored 236 goals in 393 games; third behind his team-mate Sir Bobby Charlton and Wayne Rooney on the all-time scoring list, and set club records for the most goals in the FA Cup (34 goals), which still stands, and in Europe with 28 goals in 33 games.

Former Manchester United and Scotland striker Denis Law, who has died at the age of 84, was hailed Friday as a "football giant" whose "memory will live on forever more".

Former Manchester United and Scotland forward Denis Law has died at the age of 84, the Premier League club said on Friday.

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.

Denis Law was the last surviving member of the fabled United Trinity. Together with George Best and Bobby Charlton, he helped to rebuild Manchester United after the Munich Air Disaster threatened to destroy it.

Mr. Law led Manchester United to two titles in the 1960s and was the first Scottish player to win the prestigious Ballon d’Or.

On the balmy summer's afternoon in 1966 when England won their only World Cup the greatest of all Scotland's goalscorers was keeping his head down on a Manchester golf course.
