Scottish football icon Denis Law, renowned for his prolific goalscoring and contributions to Manchester United's legendary history, has passed away at the age of 84. Law's career was marked by success, both individually and with his clubs.
Tributes have poured in for Scottish football icon Denis Law following his death at the age of 84. Law spent 11 years at Manchester United , scoring 237 goals in 404 appearances, placing him third on the club's all-time goalscorers list, behind only Wayne Rooney and Sir Bobby Charlton. He formed a legendary partnership known as ' The Holy Trinity ' at Old Trafford alongside Charlton and George Best, contributing to the club's triumphs in the European Cup, two English titles, and the FA Cup.
A brilliant striker who earned the Ballon d'Or in 1964, Law also played for Huddersfield, Torino, and Manchester City. During his illustrious career, he scored 30 goals in 55 appearances for Scotland, a feat matched only by Kenny Dalglish. He was awarded a CBE in 2016 for his contributions to football and charity. Law announced in August 2021 that he had been diagnosed with Alzheimer's and vascular dementia. A statement from Manchester United read: “It is with a heavy heart that we tell you our father Denis Law has sadly passed away. He fought a tough battle but finally he is now at peace. We would like to thank everyone who contributed to his wellbeing and care, past and much more recently. We know how much people supported and loved him and that love was always appreciated and made the difference. Thank you.” Torino, another of Law's former clubs, expressed their condolences, stating: 'President Urbano Cairo and the entire Torino Football Club remember with emotion and affection Denis Law, former Granata player in the 1961/62 season, absolute champion, Ballon d'Or in 1964. An iconic figure in the history of the Granata: the day spent together on the centenary of the Bull, on December 3, 2006, was unforgettable.' Huddersfield Town, where Law began his career, offered their condolences, stating: 'All at Huddersfield Town are profoundly saddened to learn of the passing of Denis Law. A legend of not only our great Club, but an immortal of the sport as a whole, he will be deeply missed and his memory cherished by us all. Our collective thoughts are with Denis’ family and loved ones at this time. Once a Terrier, always a Terrier.
