With his eye for goal and effervescent personality, Denis Law was the darling of a generation as the Scotland striker played a key role in Manchester

Manchester United fans paid tribute to Denis Law, following the death of the Old Trafford icon. Former Scotland striker Law’s death was confirmed on Friday.

At Manchester United Law scored 236 goals in 393 games; third behind his team-mate Sir Bobby Charlton and Wayne Rooney on the all-time scoring list, and set club records for the most goals in the FA Cup (34 goals), which still stands, and in Europe with 28 goals in 33 games.

Denis Law, the former Manchester United and Scotland centre-forward, has passed away at the age of 84. Law scored 237 goals in 404 appearances during an 11-year stay at United, forming part of the ‘United Trinity’ alongside team-mates Sir Bobby Charlton and George Best.

The last surviving member of Man United’s ‘Holy Trinity,’ Denis Law, has passed away at the age of 84 after a battle with dementia. To those football supporters of a certain era, Law was as much part of the fabric of the Red Devils as the likes of George Best and Bobby Charlton.
