Denis Law, a revered Scottish football legend, has faced one of his toughest challenges off the pitch. Renowned for his remarkable career, particularly at Manchester United, Denis now confronts a personal battle with mixed dementia, including Alzheimer’s and Vascular dementia.
In the history of Scottish football, Denis Law stands as a beacon of inspiration and greatness. Born on February 24, 1940, in the city of Aberdeen, Scotland, his life began in humble circumstances. As the youngest of seven children in a family struggling with the rigors of poverty, Denis's early years were far from the future glamour he would experience. These years in the modest neighborhoods of Aberdeen were critical in shaping his resilient character. Amidst financial challenges, his passion for football blossomed, setting him on an extraordinary journey from the rugged streets of his hometown to becoming a celebrated icon of Scottish football. - Sport
He lives in a lovely house with his lovely family. He is happy & content, so don't let these click bait titles fool you into thinking these people are destitute & lonely!
That’s good to know thank you

Exactly
Absolutely. Poor guy has dementia and failing eyesight, but is very much cared for and looked after. Where do they get this rubbish from
That’s great news👍
How Denis LIVED was anything but sad. An old school Scots footballer from Aberdeen. Tough, street-trained, fast in mind and body, highly intelligent, funny, and a man for ALL football fans. All the kids of my generation were Denis in their own mind.
Me to and I lived Leeds.Thankyou so much mr Denis for your presence in my life I feel priveliged to have known of you
Stop. this sensational isn't headlining of your videos we D 'ont need this crap to watch a great footballer and great man as well
At 85 most people live a sad life! Dennis Law, a complete legend!
The greatest header of a ball I have ever seen.One of the all time greats and a man I had the pleasure of speaking to on a couple of occasions and he had time for you too.Bless you Denis.”KING”👌
A total legend on and off the park a credit to his family and himself god bless him 🙏
What a player,,,he was awesome,,,,one of my all time favourites,,,,bless you Denis,,,,King of old Trafford,,,😊
A truly world class player
The Kop always gave him a good reception when Utd played at Anfield. Bill Shankly was his manager at Huddersfield, Kenny Dalglish idolises the great man. Denis is a humble man, a passionate man who represents everything that is good in football. He has few equals in the history of professional football and it is befitting of the great player he was that a statue was built outside Old Trafford depicting Denis in that iconic pose with his arm raised alongside Bobby and George. His hometown of Aberdeen afforded him the same accolade. A true legend if ever there was one.
Denis, was in a fantastic Manchester United who had Busby at the helm...Scottish/football fans love him.❤
The Greatest for me as a Footballer. The players who celebrate today a goal should look back and see how he celebrated and learn respect!
Fantastic player and so humble.
Best Law Charlton. It truly does not get any better. Not even a United fan.
I feel very, very privileged to have seen Denis play. The same goes for George, and Bobby. Real men played the game in those days, not the over-paid, under-performing prima donnas we’re forced to endure today. The football world has certainly changed, but not for the better. I miss those days.
leicester fan i saw him at filbert st as a kid the king great team great player
players like law ,best and CHARLTON WERE WORTH THE ENTRY FEE................................BUT TODAY ITS OFTEN A WASTE OF DOUGH.
@user-fi2db3xp8k - You had a great team in those days. Was Jimmy Bloomfield the manager? Keith Weller, Alan Birchenall, Big Frank, John Sammels...Great players, I used to like watching Leicester play in the early 70s. All the best mate👍🏻
Denis,George and Bobby were the reason I started supporting United..I was taken to Stamford Bridge as a kid and along with crerand, stiles etc,I saw football I had never seen before!..awesome!!..from that day I was hooked!..MUFC OK!!🇪🇬👹
@@mickfoskett6629 - Great memories, thanks for sharing them, Mick👍🏻 You probably paid about five bob to get into Stamford Bridge in those days, eh? Gone are the days when school kids can watch a game of football for no more than their pocket money.
The King,a real privilege to have seen him play for United.Thanks for the memories.
Too many inaccuracies and some very repetitive visuals sometimes in the wrong context. I watched Denis from when he first played for Huddersfield Town, 100% commitment from a skinny teenager, later attending most of his Old Trafford career. What a fantastic never-say-die team player and a wonderful entertainer.
First saw DL play around 1959-1960 when aged around 10. Drew 1-1 in the FA Cup at Huddersfield, then a replay at Upton Park on a snowy pitch on a mid-week afternood. Law took us apart, Huddersfield winning 5-1! Always a class act. Just a shame that this clip completely omits Denis speaking for himself.
10:36 Methinks that is the goal that Denis scored for Manchester City that condemned Manchester United to relegation from the 1st to the 2nd Division. He wasn't celebrating. Class man.
It was,my friend and he had United haters like Mike Doyle desperate for him to winf up United fans but he did not and shrugged off their congratulations after that goal./
One stat you got wrong was Denis never played in the European Cup final he was injured - but even though he played for City after he left United - he's always remembered as a legend at United hence his nickname - The King.
True. 18 year old Brian Kidd played instead. And scored!
@@stevekenney2804 19 year old Kidd. I may be wrong , I think it was his birthday on that day. Still, 18 or 19 Brian Kidd was also a great player.
@@billybonds4449 do you know that rings a bell. I think you're right.
Bumped into Dennis with his family at Manchester airport many years ago...everybody passing would shout hello to him and he had a smile and kind words to every single one...a true gentleman and a brilliant footballer
AS A SCOT'SMAN! I THINK THAT DENIS LAW, WAS ONE OF THE BEST FOOTBALL PLAYERS OF ALL TIME!! AND A TRUE GENTLEMAN!! THAT IS JUST WHAT YOU WOULD EXPECT FROM A TRUE SCOTTISH GENTLEMAN!! 😮😮❤😅😅
i was extremely lucky to meet Dennis at Old Trafford it was a printer exhibition & Dennis was the front man we met in the tea room which i assumed was the exhibition room! i introduce myself & had many things that i hopped he might sign
a programme when utd beat leicester in the cup final a picture of Dennis scoring against Gordon Banks which utd won i also had a book “ play football the Denis Law way” he hadn’t seen the book & finally a programme of Dennis playing for the rest of the world against England just after the world cup final all signed ( i am so lucky) we talked in the room for a long time 11:04 his minder came over & said it’s time i think we went into the main room 🙀he was just great & signed lots of things .
what a perfect gentleman it was a great pleasure Dennis i am so sorry to hear of your illness but you are a UTD legend & a wonderful person warm regards to you & your family 😂
Why were you hopping???
Denis Law KING That's what we used to chant in the Stretford End back in the 60's. One of my lifelong hero's as all the Red Devils were back then.
The lawman..a legend
One of the greats.I wish you all the best in your struggle to fight this awefull disease.
Awful
These guys earned relatively little money in comparison to todays footballers but therewas no historyonics, they just got on with it for the love of their club, country and the game
My mother who is 91 has the same condition as Denis and I know how sad it is especially for his family. I wish them all the best
he was also a gentleman,the most important accolade of all.his goal sent manchester united down to the second division.he played in the glory days of football.before money became an absolutely astronomical commodity.he was a superb pundit on the big match.i thought that he had ended up in poverty but he may have dementia.that is an awful demise and decline.her majesty lived for eons,then died pretty quickly and cleanly.nobody wants a neither or slow living death lasting several years.we're all terrified of the future and the unknown.the future finds us all eventually!
Eric was up there.....but Denis (for me) was and still is the KING.
The king is Best ALL DAY.
Law Best and Charlton...Thee trinity.
Several fatual errors. The worst one is his contribution to the '68 European Cup Final. He didn't play in that one due to injury.
Clown Idiot one of Scotlands finest players you are a dickhead
😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
He was World class...inspite of battling Travis disease in the groin.
He was World class...inspite of battling Travis disease in the groin.
I was there at Wembley 68 . Denis wasn't there, I can vouch for that
Great guy and player wherever he played. Down to earth guy even if you met him briefly. Take care great man.👏👌
Denis was a menace ask all those defenders.!!!
Denis was as hard as nails.
So sad Denis Law is my school boy football hero.
I had a Manchester United shirt printed 2 years old, with Law 10 on the back, as a show of support for my hero.
My Auntie had dementia.
Denis the menace class on top of class simply a joy to watch.
Law Best and Charlton, United peak
Was fantastic for all his teams and for Scotland, a supreme performance in beating the world cup winners 3-2 at Wembley 😊
A legend as a player and so humble as well, respect for a great Scot
Though not a Man Utd fan Denis was my football idol as an 12 year old in 1963. I remember in the 1990s when a lad in my son’s football team went for a trial at Manchester City. Denis Law walked out of the offices and the lad’s dad said all the lads there looked on in amazement as all their parents forgot about them and dashed over to surround the great man. The lads and their parents were from all over, not Manchester which showed the regard he is held in.
Whenever I’ve seen Dennis he was always smiling,so he is having a great life
couple of years ago dennis law was in london for a dinner function he got into my cab and it was an absolute pleasure talking to him. A LIVING LEGEND.
When I was a young lad back in Ireland ,Man Utd was my team.It was because of Best ,Charlton and Law,the greatest trio ever in British football.
These days I'm a Celtic supporter but I can never shake off the love I had for these three great players. Two have gone to their eternal reward RIP,All I can say is may God bless Denis Law in his final battles.✝️
Denis Law did not play in the European cup final v Benfica. He was in Ancoats hospital recovering from a knee operation.
Brilliant King of the Stretford End Lawman
My strongest memory of him was Bank Holiday weekend in August 1968 when Man.Utd came to Hillsborough to play my team Sheffield Wednesday. He scored twice, George Best once & a screamer from Bobby Charlton. They were 4-2 up afte 30 minutes yet still managed to lose 4-5! Sadly there were no cameras there from Match of the Day so there is no record preserved for posterity. It was a privilege to see 3 of our greatest footballers do what you hope to see & still one of the most exciting games I have seen in a lifetime of football.
My one and only hero,Denis was the ultimate striker,no one like him in the penalty area,even today
World class player and a world class person.
My greatest memory of him was August Bank Holiday 1968 when Man.Utd came to Hillsborough to play Sheffield Wednesday (my team). He scored 2, George Best 1 & a screamer from Bobby Charlton. They were 4-2 up after 30 minutes but managed to lose 4-5! It was a privilege to see 3 of the greatest players of our time all doing what you hoped to see. Sadly there were no Match of the Day cameras there to record it for posterity but it lives on in the memory & one of the most excitind games I have seen in a lifetime of watching football.
Charlton, Law & Best - what a trio, never to be repeated! Those were the days before big money, cheating, and dirty play sullied the "beautiful" game.
Met Dennis Law at Manchester Airport,got a smile and a chat,nice fella,brilliant footballer he used to jump in the air and wait for the ball,never seen anyone head a ball like Dennis .
Love Dennis Law brilliant footballer god bless.
What a fantastic footballer
Denis Law a great player
...you feature some important health matters and how he helped people to cope with similar problems. On the playing side, others have commented on errors on MU and MC. I saw him play many games for Scotland. 1974 He played against Zaire but not against Brazil or Yugoslavia. I was lucky enough to be invited to the team hotel after the Yugoslavia match. Denis was competitive even in fun activities in the hotel...
Next time I met him was when he was in Munich after Nottingham Forest won the European Cup.
as a young un saw dennis play many times and i,ll assure you he really was THE KING
I was lucky enough to see you play for man u and scotland. it was a joy watching you i hope you can battle your illness with the same strength as you battled on the field.
Law Best & Charlton, the most feared trio in football history.
Even better than Messi, Neymar, Souarez at Barcelona, or Bale,Benzema, Cristiano at Real.
I am old enough to have seen them all, and yes Law Best and Charlton were the best.@@vasilispatsalidis5683
One of the best players I have ever seen.... him play for both CITY AND UNITED wish 🤞 him
All the best 👍 ...in 1974 he gave me a ticket 🎟 for the league Cup final against Wolves he his a true Gent .
Excellent picture footage. Very poor research ,No mention of Torino. He never played in the 1968 European Cup Final due to injury.Manchester United were relegated due to other results not by his back heeled goal for City.
The trio Best Charlton and law were unstoppable.
God Bless Denis and you family
the title is misleading, it made it seem like DL was a sad old man, when in fact it was a very positive article. DL showed his strength of character both on the pitch and off and the dementia seems to have been handled with dignity and respect. He was an outstanding football player, mentor and a gentleman.
Yes. I saw Dennis when he played for Huddersfield at Bristol rovers when he was 17 brilliant football baller at 17
Colossal !
Simply colossal !
As a Lifelong Arsenal Fan.My biggest regret was us not signing Dennis.We were in for him,as I recall.But we refused to raise our offer to match/exceed that which Manchester United were willing to offer.
A footballing icon Dennis Law top player for clubs he played for in England and his Country Scotland .
Played on rough pitches in the 60s and 70s but in days players just got on with it and no shirking them yrs .
Sad to hear of his health troubles Dementia is tough to deal with . All best to his wife and family 👍
What a poorly researched video. Little detail about his time with Huddersfield, briefly at Manchester United before his move to play in Italy. Too much about Manchester City which was a very small period early in his career and briefly at the end of his playing. He didn’t transfer to Man Utd from Man City! It was the other way around.
I completely agree
Also managed to call him "Denise" at one point.
Before Denis moved to Torino, he was the star player at City.
This is from Google.An American company.
Have never had deep abiding love of the game ..
Now Johnny come lately
Look at guy who bought Chelsea for the wrong reasons.
I attended his united testamonial..and have a signed program by the king himself..a treasured possession..from a truly great man....
Legend back in the day.👍💯
Top top man.
Bless him , watches him at villa Park always as a
Kid.. him and Bobby, Betty as well .fantastic players.
Betty who?
Amazing player...
Getting old can be a struggle and it comes with it's own challenges.😢
One of the best footballers ever 👏
One word. Legend!
Great player.
He is still the King of Manchester always will be
Most people’s lives at the end are ‘sad’ and all that can be done is to make them feel comfortable and secure. As a Liverpool supporter I watched Law, Charlton and Best etc at Anfield and of course on TV. Rather than focus on sadness I would rather reflect on a great player who will leave a lot of good memories. One other point, yet again the impression is given that Law’s goal for City caused United to be relegated. That is not accurate, United would have gone down even without that goal!
Im sure Denis only played against Zaire in the 74 world cup finals.
" The Lawman " , respect .
A couple of factual errors in this film. Denis was not transferred from Manchester City to United directly in the early 1960s. He had a spell in Italy in between, Also, he did not play in the 1968 European Cup Final.
Why do you have to have sad in every post title you upload
The King went from Man City to Torino and from Torino to Man U. He never played in the European Cup final as he was injured. Kindly update your narrative
Stop using Sad as click bait.
He didn’t move from City to United. He came to United from Torino.
Bergkamp’s father was a big fan and named his son after him 😊
Denis Law admits to hating the English... well...the feeling is mutual Denis !
He was like greased lightni g . A fabulous ayer
A truly world class player.
He went from Utd to city. Not the other way round.
He did go from City to Utd, but via Torino.
Another poor omission that was not explained, and that his time in Turin wasn't even mentioned!
Why sad ? How do you know he's sad? Are you his mother or wife? Someone commented that every post you put up states' how he now lives is sad.Come on, be real! .That type of sickness naturally comes with old age.
Great player .im Arsenal
I saw him play at White Hart Lane around 1961. Every time he got the ball near goal his shirt was grabbed. Very disappointed.
He’s a god
This was a poor effort, There were to many black and white clips also 4 clips of Denis relegating United. There is tons of material of the man scoring for club and his country. You did not do synch the video with the audio very well. The Audio itself was crap I would guess it was AI generated as too often it was basically the same words repeated over and over. Denis Law is a legend and deserved better
Soul man from darwen the law was my idol what the song i walk a million miles for one of your goals my denis up the mods
So many errors. Law wasn’t on the European Cup team Ridiculous report of a magnificent player and man
Thank-you. And thank-you for a strong marriage exemplified!
If I've got this right.. I went to his testimonial, against Ajax ... alas The king was out injured, tho' United won 1-0 .the full back Alex Forsyth scoring.. hope that's correct, but it's a long time ago, The Doc was the boss, I think.
I think Man City refused permission for the King to play in his testimonial v Ajax as he had signed for City for his last season in football when it was staged.
United would have got relegated even if they wouldnt have lost, and he never played in the European cup final. No mention of the ilagitamet child he had at huddersfield which was adopted
Why should that be mentioned? Some stuff should remain private
@@shaka7594 Well said.
Just a comment M he didn’t play that night he was injured & watched from a hospital bed sorry don’t mean to be cleaver
just wanted to put the detail right Warm regards M
He didn’t go to Manchester United from Manchester City.He went to Torino from City
Great player who at the end he could of gone to any club but like Peter the great decided to cross the park WHY?
I think you need to check your facts, wrong on a lot of times.
You have got this all wrong Denis did not play in the European Cup final he was injured.
The goal for city DID NOT lead to United's relegation, utter drivel.
