DenisLAWManchester United legend Denis Law CBE passed away at age 84.
Law spent 11 years playing for United, scoring 237 goals in 404 appearances, which put him third on the club's all-time goalscorers list, behind only Wayne Rooney and Sir Bobby Charlton. He formed a partnership known as "The Holy Trinity" at Old Trafford alongside Charlton and George Best, helping the club to win the European Cup, two English titles and the FA Cup.
Law played for United between 1962 and 1973. The club added they were "deeply saddened" to share the news of Law's passing.
In their obituary, United described him as the "darling of the Stretford End" and said he was "idolised by United fans of all ages". They also note that he is the only person with two statues at Old Trafford dedicated to him.
A brilliant striker who won the Ballon d'Or in 1964, Law also played for Huddersfield, Torino and Manchester City and scored 30 goals in 55 appearances for Scotland during his distinguished career, making him his country's joint-record scorer alongside Sir Kenny Dalglish.
Manchester City said the “whole of Manchester” was mourning. In a reply to United’s X post, they said: “The whole of Manchester, including everyone at City, is mourning with you. Rest in peace, Denis. Our thoughts are with Denis’ family and friends at this difficult time.”
