Some player.
Gawd knows how much he'd be worth in the modern game.
RIP.1 -
Oh bless! My late dad's favourite footballer1

I don’t remember him playing but have seen countless footage of him.
A real character.
May he RIP.1 -
Denis Law is right up there amongst my most favourite players of all time.
Scorer of many astonishing goals, which he celebrated with a raised arm and a big smile on his face. Although he had a slight frame, he thrilled the crowds wherever he went with his courage, determination and great talent.
Back in the day, Denis made a unique contribution to that famous Manchester United team, which abounded with world-class talent. They had a charisma all of their own, which will never be forgotten.
Thanks for the memories, Denis, which came flooding back after reading the very sad news of your passing today. RIP2 -
Don’t make them like him anymore.
Belive he spoke at CASC do in Bexleyheath in place of George Best, or was it other way round?

Real legend. RIP Dennis1

A top player and as someone who greatly assisted the relegation of Man Utd, deserves our respect.1

RIP Dennis, absolute legend!1

Always came across so well too, proper character, cheeky and funny and seemed just a very decent person.
RIP.4 -
I'm too young to have seen him play - honest! - but I respect the opinions of others who say he was one of the greatest.
However, from what I've seen of him over the years (on TV) he seemed like a great character and one of those blokes who always seemed to have a smile on his face and a glint in his eye. One of the old skool characters, grounded in reality, that football doesn't really seem to produce anymore.

He was world class and as feisty as they come.
When he was called before the board after being sent off, his teammate Paddy Crerand said he didn’t swear at the ref, he called him a coot. Priceless.2 -
An iconic moment. Was a great player, with Best and Charlton in a great united team.Pedro45 said:Best, Law, Charlton.... there's a reason he's bracketed with those two greats of the game. He was a wonderful player, and possibly the first not to celebrate a winning goal when he back heeled a late winner that relegated United. RIP1 -

Really good stand out player and a true legend.1

Mad to have 3 Ballon d'Or winners in 5 years, and all playing together.Kap10 said:

Goodness me.DaveMehmet said:Whilst a fantastic footballer, not a fan of him personally. Despite playing and earning the vast majority of his career/money in England, stated that our WC win in 66 was the blackest day of his life. If he hated us that much, why didn’t he fuck off and play somewhere else?“Why didn’t he fuck off”.Jeepers.Keep flying that flag. 🏴🫤0 -
He was one of the greats.Shame some like to take time out to make him seem like some sort of, well….I don’t even want to imagine what’s going through their tiny minds.
Actually…. “not a fan of him personally”.
What did he do that made you make that comment at such a time?0 -
He was my boyhood hero. Not only a great footballer, but a genuine nice guy, no airs and graces, and modest too. I had the privilege of meeting him once and was surprised at how slight he was, but if a defender kicked him Denis Law would kick him back rather than go down. RIP Denis.3

My boyhood hero.
As a kid who dreamed of being a striker he was everything I wanted to be.
Glad I got to see him play on a few occasions.
RIP

Squabbles?Maybe look again at the title of the thread.How many other RIP threads have you seen “not a fan of him personally” and agreed with that timing?Shameful.0 -
Absolutely great player, Saw him and Greaves at the old Spurs ground as a kid.Best and Charlton created but he finished ,and if they didn’t create he would make something happen himself .2

RIP. A true legend if ever there was one.0

A proper player, before my time, but also an excellent speaker. Part of British football history.
RIP2 -
Old school character in so many ways.
He will be sadly missed……one of the greats, goes without saying.
RIP….Dennis….RIP0 -

An iconic moment. It seems ironic that he now has a statue behind that stand when this was his last act at Old Trafford. Iirc he briefly featured for Scotland in the 74 World Cup ,but he never played in the league again.1 -
I managed to see Man Utd play back in the days of Best, Charlton and Law on a couple of occasions at Upton Park. Always a sell out and we use to be at the ground at 11am and stand right down the front.
RIP Denis Law.0
