Even someone as rugged as Sir Alex Ferguson, his fellow Scot, admitted that in the '60s: "Denis Law was my hero as a player. I idolised him." That kind of reverence was based partly on his dazzling skills as a player, including his electric pace, his uncanny awareness in the penalty box and his astonishing athleticism.
"No other player scores as many miracle goals as Denis. He is the quickest-thinking player I have ever seen," said Sir Matt Busby, who brought him to Old Trafford in 1962 from the Italian club Torino for a British record fee of £115,000. The unprecedented sum was worth it.
During his 11 years at the club, he scored 237 goals in 404 appearances, playing up front alongside those two other legends, George Best and Bobby Charlton, as part of probably the greatest forward line in history. He also scored 30 goals in 55 games for Scotland which still stands as the record aggregate more than 50 years after he retired.
His goals were delivered with the swagger of a true showman. He lit up stadiums with his charisma, mesmerised spectators with his self-confidence. Engaging, often charming off the field, Law was described by George Best as "the nicest man I have ever known". He brought an explosive sense of passionate commitment to his play. It was a whole-hearted, uncompromising style that led to numerous confrontations with referees and opponents, as in 1967 when he was banned for nine weeks for fighting with Arsenal's Ian Ure.
