Denis, what an absolutely brilliant footballer. I am old enough to have seen him play, that was for Scotland, what a privilege. It’s incredibly touching to listen to him talking about some of his past. And such a personality.
*Unknown fact among current Man Utd fans* - he was *sold/released* by *Great Tommy Doc* behind his back. He *didn't want* to leave Utd.
I'm currently a United fan, and I know because his autobiography was the first sports book I read, back in the '70s.
Tommy Doc great manager, *rebuild Utd* after Sir Matt but treated some legends poorly including Willie Morgan, Paddy, George. But at the same time it was necessary for rebuilding purpose
This is a common fact
In the 70s there was a pub on Hyde road with a full length picture of Denis on the front, named the King’s Head.
Never rated Docherty as a manager. He won one FA Cup and that was all. If we had appointed Brian Clough as Busby's successor, we would have dominated the seventies.
Raise your Hand like the Law Man ✋
You can tell he feels deeply about that goal that relegated United - what a man, what a player. World-Class Goal scorer, United Legend, Part of the Holy Red Devil Trinity. Thank you Mr Law, we Love You ♥️
Should be an icon on Fifa
Connor Wilson he is now a legend in Pro Evolution Soccer 20
Yeah...One of the most OP card in pes20/21
So should Bobby Charlton
@@jordanallen1581 Goes with out saying sir but Bobby Charlton had a Momentous shooting power which you see very little of today.Also George Best comes into the equation ' George played proper carpet football and never complained of tiredness or the state of the pitch unlike today's Mamby Pamby and prima donnas. Kind regards Glynn n greetings from Stourbridge West Midlands UK and Aston Villa fan since 1968🤝
pro trick : watch series at Flixzone. Been using them for watching all kinds of movies lately.
The only person to have 2 statues at a football ground. The United Trinity outside Old Trafford and one within Stretford End❤️
There's a statue of him in Aberdeen too walk past it every day
Incredible footballer.
He really deserved the nickname
"The King"
Great player, loved by both red and blue in Manchester.
City fans hate him, he won nothing with them and won everything with united😂
@@Johndoe-gf7euif you think city fans hate/love players based off of trophies won for the team then I don’t know what to say…
United legend
I never seen Denis play but my old fella did and rated him and Jimmy Greaves alongside the greats of goal scoring.
I agree with your dad, Squire. Interesting that both players missed out on what should have been the highlights of their career; Greaves in the World cup and Law in the European cup. And whilst both are clearly highly rated, I think missing those occasions have not helped how they are viewed. Denis Law, is clearly viewed as great in Manchester. But as something of a poor cousin to Charlton and Best. He wasn't, he was their equal.
My footballing hero, the King of Old Trafford.....The Lawman.
Law....a wonderful human being...
Great video. Didn’t realise that he played for City (TWICE!). Seen footage of him and he seemed to have everything including great balance, pace, change of direction and an eye for goal.
Without doubt, the best player I've ever seen.
The King! Always loyal to his former teams.
I saw him playing for United against Crystal Palace and for Scotland against England. A marvellous player. The complete striker.
GIVE IT DENIS LAW TIL' END OF SEASON !
God bless you Mr Law
My hero.
Surely now is the time for this great man to be knighted.
14 Years old, born on the south bank of the Tyne with the choice of Sunderland or Newcastle....or both....we found we needed one more team. Many gravitated to Manchester United over Munich. With me and my pal Dave Lawson it was the thrill of everything to do with Denis Law.
Legend. Beautiful little doc
King Dennis, and aptly named, I used to love watching Dennis play, especially scoring goals, and I’m a Liverpool fan , always have been, but you have to respect great talent, of which the king had plenty of
"I was left with about 50p...." after expenses for a week. Fxxxx.
Always be the KING
The king 👑
As a West Ham fan, it was a privilege to have seen Dennis play, alongside Best and Charlton , so sad to hear the news of his diagnosis. pure QUALITY, even saw him as a youngster playing for Huddersfield when they beat us in a FA Cup game at Upton Park in January 1960 on a frozen snow covered pitch. Real gentleman
Proud of the part my team Huddersfield had in the Kings career. We managed 2 seasons in the premier league but we are on the brink of returning today if we beat Forest in the playoff final at wembley! UTT!!
That was really nice that. Great bloke.
And my Grandma used to have friendly chats with that young lad when he was starting out at Huddersfield as she lived opposite the car park on which the players would train.( it was cinder based and used when all pitches were either mud or frozen). She would always recall that he was a lovely young man. Nice to see him presented to the Town crowd when Man. Utd were beaten by Town in 2017.
Lies
Ghost Face why is it a lie?its not hard to believe?football players aren’t aliens they can be seen on a daily basis,true story
@@Justwatching-yc1sg LMAO I'm just trolling .. how would I know if its lies or not
yes and my great uncle twice removed used to play bingo with his mother on thursdays before the war
@@anansistirade5800 well my gf sisters ex boyfriend had a dog and that dog was the litter of another dog who was owned by this guy who did some ironing for a man who cleaned the boots of a man who played against law at under 9 level in aberdeen
What a man
I say this with Great pride, Denis Law and my dad Keith Murray from Aberdeen are cousins, love you Denis.
12:35 Hopefully it'll happen.
Also, based on the thumbnail I thought he was Neil Warnock. Don't know why...
Great man
A player revered on both sides of manchester ! All respects from a lifetime blue
You can't keep a good story down. I don't know how often it's been shown that Law's goal did not send United down; but still the story persists.
When the legend becomes fact, print the legend. Same as the myth that Roy Keane walked out of the Irish team in Saipan.
As a United fan, I'm just so glad he didn't follow Shankley to Liverpool. They'd have been bloody unstoppable.
My boyhood hero.
Bit of Harvey kaitel in shankly
5:42 Huh, I guess they called football shorts "knickers" back in the day?
The King of stredford end
I didn't know till last night Law is from Aberdeen
Scotland's greatest!
Funny how many united fans don't have a clue that dennis started and finished his top flight career with us (city)
Denis.
Hey im a city slicker too
My Nan dated Denis law
Really
Denis Law ate my naan.
Every great player had some obstacle in their way to stardom....
I know this player in pes
A bit of bacon 🥓 and egg now thats a good saying
Aiberdeen loon👌
City legend
😂😂😂😂😂
Denis gave the fans what they wanted excitement , as well as goals ,I've managed to speak to him twice ,once I went into a pub in Heaton
moor Stockport with my then wife for some lunch around Christmas time ,the dining room was empty so I picked a table and sat down while my wife went to the toilet.I then realised the table had a reserved sign on it ,I started talking
to myself when I moved tables ,thinking there's no one in and theve put a reserved sign on the table I wanted to sit on, I was moaning to myself ,then Denis law walked in with some friends and sat next to my table on the reserved table .He looked at me and said are you all right son .I said am I alright I'm sitting next to the king of old Trafford ,a European footballer of the year and you ask me if im alright .He had time for me and we laughed when I told them about a goal that he once scored and I went through all the motions needed to score that goal,He started laughing and asked if I was sure it was him who scored it as it was that fantastic
The other time was in the car park at b and q when he spoke to me .as a utd fan who followed them all over. In his day ,it was a special time in my life being allowed to talk to him .once the king always the king
What happened to his pinky finger ?
Noticed that too. Probably broke it some time back and it was never correctly set.
A It's God
