Manchester United And Scotland Great Denis Law Dies Aged 84
Manchester United and Scotland great Denis Law has died at the age of 84, sparking a wave of heartfelt tributes to a man known at Old Trafford as "The King". Law was a member of United's European Cup-winning side under Matt Busby in 1968, when they became the first English club to lift the trophy, though he was injured for the final. Capped 55 times by Scotland, he remains his country's joint all-time leading scorer with 30 goals alongside Kenny Dalglish and is the only Scottish player to win the Ballon d'Or, in 1964. Law -- part of the famed "Holy Trinity" at Old Trafford alongside Bobby Charlton and George Best -- was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease and vascular dementia in 2021.
