Everyone loved Denis Law when he played football. But now, he has a deadly disease that’s making it impossible for him to live. From rags to riches, this is the story of his struggles that not many people know.
Born on February 24, 1940, in Aberdeen, Scotland, Denis Law is a legendary Scottish footballer known for his time as a forward. The youngest of seven in a fisherman's family, life wasn't always a breeze for him. Growing up in a council flat, young Denis didn't even have shoes until he was 12, and even then, they were hand-me-downs. Can you imagine? His first football boots were a second-hand gift from a kind neighbor!
This young lad was a die-hard Aberdeen FC supporter, saving every penny he could to watch them play. If he was short on cash, he'd head over to local amateur matches, but he would watch no matter what. Denis even had the chance to go to Aberdeen Grammar School, but that would have meant playing rugby instead of football, no way! So, Powis Academy it was. - Sport
Wasted career? He had a brilliant career! One of the greatest.
Spot on.
He was one of the world's best in his time.
Probably one of the best headers of ball ever.
One of my boyhood heroes along with slim Jim Baxter and Jinky
i was just going to txt, how was it a wasted carear when i saw your response, why do these people make videos of true football legends, as an Everton fan it was a case of what a great player, with a wonderful sense of humour... if thats sad then i am a KOPITE.
He had a fantastic football career. He was a great player . Wasted career ? You don't know what you are talking about
A great player in his day.
Denis is still the KING of Old Trafford what a player thanks Denis
Denis law my idol.
Greatest ever.....still
“Wasted career” ? Whoever thought that title up ? The man was brilliant and in his day one of the very best ! And I say that as a Wolves fan - sure wish he had played for us !
As a lifelong Aberdeen FC fan, I wished he had played for us
the original king (watched him many times)will always be regarded as a legend by all jocks and utd fans long live the king
Still the only Scottish player to win the European player of the year
A traversty denis law is still the king one of the all time greats
Good luck to you Denis one is the best Scottish footballer. Why don’t we have more players like him today?
Although not a Man Utd fan, I am one of those who supports their local unsuccessful team, but Denis was my football idol in the early 1960s. Still one of my all time favourite players.
As a very young boy i saw Denis play for Huddersfield v Newcastle United at St James Park,i then met him again on the after diner circuit when he hosted s table for the company i worked for.
He was a gentleman and great company. Thank you Sir.
The lawman a Scottish gentleman I’ll never forget his face when he back-heeled the ball into the net against United that to me told you all you needed to know about Denis.Magnificent footballer.
I was a13 year old United fan at that game. You should have seen my face.
I am in my eighty’s and have been a Liverpool all my life but he the one player in all the years that I would have sold Anfield to buy, what a player always on the go. Impossible to mark and as you rightly pointed out small but could out jump any centre half and could somehow seem to hang up there, oh and brave. May God bless you Denis and thanks for the lovely memories.
Great comment buddy😂
Surely Man U are financially’stepping in’ ??!!
Liverpool couldn’t afford him??!!
Hope he actually got the ‘right money’ out of his move to Italy & then to Man U.
Showing us his character, it’s perhaps believable that he got what they told him.
One of the few examples where, had there been these shitty ‘agents’ around then, no doubt they would have got him good money (and obviously for them)

An absolute legend and the greatest Aberdonian! A great shame he never played for Aberdeen but he has never forgotten his roots!
When I was around five living in Kings Crescent in Aberdeen Dennis first footed my granny, I don’t remember the connection but he was there😀
He was absolutely amazing, loved the Lawman
I used to be involved with outside broadcasts and met Denis one day as he was a radio commentator. What a lovely lovely guy, so sorry to hear he's struggling a bit now but he is a fighter.
What a player along with Jimmy Greaves they were my heroes when I was a young lad two fantastic goalscorers, the best for me and I'm 65 now, Legends !
I watched them both play at spurs, great days, 😊 🌹
I'm a BWFC fan born in 1964 ,and Dennis Law is and was a true legend played the game in a true spirit manchester United should be proud and city he was still playing just in 74 when I was ten he was awesome then . And way before your Beckham,giggs,although both class he Dennis was the law there weren't many that could keep george best calm he could true gent true legend long live THE LAW
The Law man what a player the best of the best and a very very humble human being as well lovely lovely man
He used to call into the food shop i worked in .He was and is a kind and considerate gentleman.
Denis law was fantastic football player with man u in the 60s 70s its terrible what's happened to him but we all get old live isn't easy when you start getting on god bless him
Long live the King❤
The Greatest Living Scotsman ❤
I was lucky enough to meet Dennis at old Trafford when he was fronting a exhibition, i was so lucky because he cam into the tea room where i & my customers were before his address i had a book “ play football the Dennis way” & asked him to sign this & a some other programmes such as utd V Leicester where he scored against Gordon Banks & when he played against England after they won the world cup he was just the best spent 20 minutes with me just a wonderful man thank you Dennis from all my heart & good luck with your illness from all us fans! 🥰
💚
great player one of the best i saw as for charlton best and law was there ever a better trio
Born in Aberdeen, I lived in the same street as Denis's brother. Denis had cartilage surgery and came to Aberdeen for a visit. Me and my mates saw a red Jaguar pull up and knew who would be driving. We ran over and leaned on the fence as The King got out. Although recuperating from the surgery, he still took the time for a kick about. A real Legend. PS I was in the Stretford End when Denis back healed the ball into the net for City. He was devastated .
My hero,wore my sleeves down,wore no10 and bought Mitre boots cos Denis did Met him once,a warm lovely genuine man,was interested in who l was.Thanks Denis
I watched him play with George Best and Bobby Charlton against spurs, the greats
Denis the menace fab player .
How dare you sink so low with appalling headlines for such a great man and supreme footballer.
King of the stretford end,walk a million miles for 1 of your goals,oh Denis
The son of a fisherman from Aberdeen..played for his country when only 18....the king!!🇪🇬👹
@@mickfoskett6629 his football magic was a sight to see ,he led man united to many a victory ,who Denis Denis law king of the Stretford end
@@IanWood-oe8or..gave me goosebumps when he was on the ball,and loved his goal celebration, a character on ..and off the pitch!..THE KING!!🔱
Denis, what a bloke, first saw Denis play at the city ground (forest) can't remember the exact year but I was not yet a teenager, it was his last game before a six week suspension not sure but I think he had a. Fall out with Ian Ure of arsenal, the crowd were chanting Denis Law is on the dole..! I'm 72 soon so it must have been 1962/3, Law Best and Charlton. Denis the king, my intro to football.
Mr.Dennis Law and Mr Bobby Charlton. Both ended with a similar problem and they where two of my football hero,s. God Bless them may life not be too difficult for you Dennis and RIP Bobby.❤❤❤😂😊😊😊
I saw him play at Middlesbrough stadium Ayresome Park, many years ago.
The man was like Quicksilver - in a league of his own !
wasted career how he lives is sad how insulting you are to say this about a great man
What an idiotic statement, "wasted" one of the geatest.❤❤⚽️
Who idea was this crap?
Denis will always be the king of old Trafford, he played for the rest of the world team.
His brave fight with dementia and vascular dementia, is a tragedy .
King Denis is and will always be my football hero, I’ve supported Manchester United since 1963.
Denis Law scored 6 goal for Man City in the FA cup the match was abandoned in the second half, in the replay City lost and Denis 6 goal were taken off him, if the match would have not been abandoned Denis Law would have been the top FA cup goalscorer of all time.
Not bad for a skinny little lad from Aberdeen.
Keep fighting Denis, you’re not alone.
A great player. Humble man. Similar to Sir Bobby.
He we be in the best 11 Man Utd team what a player
Great player.
Lies He was in the Canaries Two weeks ago on holiday enjoying it . got his photo as well.
*The Lawman.*
😎 💚
I saw Best, Law and Charlton several times, some against Hurst, Moore and Peters. Those 3 were the best there were in those positions. Denis - the original 'Fox in the Box'. Likle the overhead kick v Palace.
A talented player one of the best at Man U Plus a Scotland player
Wembley stadium 1967
I saw Denis play for United at Craven Cottage, and Georgie Best for NI at the old Wembley. Difficult to say who was my favourite but if pushed I would say Denis Law. It was fantastic to have seen both of them at their very best.
A good man
he always reminds me of Rod Stewart, he just needs the ''Mic'' & he'd be the man. Wake up Maggie!
UTD Legend🇾🇪
ranks with the best to kick a ball
A great player and great career.
Have some respect ffs "wasted"??? One of the very best ever, and I'm no fan of any of the teams he played for
Oldest living ballon d'Or winner
Ime sure he played for Man U at one time
I think he had a good life he is a human being unfortunately like all of us we will rot away and die but at least he is positive in other peoples minds so he will live on
" he really shined' lol
Your title is an absolute joke. Law is/was the King and many clubs would have snapped up this outrageously gifted career. What a dreadful title you need to smarten your act up. Is/was a complete legend for Scotland and Man Utd.
Same class as best
What were the scouts from Aberdeen doing in the 1950's???
Who writes this great player and career
As a Liverpool fan all I can say is Total Respect.
My first football kit I received on my tenth birthday was a Man Utd kit, came in a cardboard box with Dennis Law on the front, that would be 1964.
And I live in Leicester.
Denis Law scored 6 goals while I believe at Huddersfield in an FA cup tie which was never finished due to weather problems. They then lost the tie when it was replayed,a travesty to this day.
Provocative title equals curious eyeballs . Good advertising/marketing although misleading spin.
A great player but not so great as well,he was my hero as a kid saw him play at Plymouth for Huddersfield he was brilliant asked him for his autograph he said F off you little bar steward never forgot it now 78 and it still hurts 😢
I think this channel uses AI. I saw one about Bryan Robson recently and half way through it showed photos of Bobby Robson. Scandalous
That artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity.😊
Agreed
Law best Charlton names that trip off the tongue 👅
Change that ridiculous title the noo! Delete 'wasted' insert 'legendary'.
A wasted career? It's very possible that the toxic fool who gave this title is a frustrated,jealous nobody who has had a ftustrating life as a nobody.So sad.
So much clickbait shite
Wasted career….jeez, fools everywhere
Click bait shite
Wasted career!!!What a stupid thing to say, you obviously know nothing about football.😡😡😡
Outstanding player. Legend.
Is it his fault no, was he a legend yes we'll keep at it like that son.
Why are we seeing Ray Parlour of Arsenal, a much later generation of player, @ 6:22?
