Saw him play in blue and in red. One mid-week afternoon c.1963 (?) I was at Swinton v. Widnes R.L. Cup replay at Station Road, turned around and Law and Charlton were stood there on the terraces, they'd come over to see the match after training finished at O.T.

Skip and now Denis. A very sad few days. RIP Blues....
My favourite Law story. England v Scotland; Law really clatters Charlton; from his position on the ground Charlton asks “What on earth are you doing, Denis?”. Law replies: “You are nae playing for United now, Bobby.” A great player.
RIP Denis Law.

Agreed. Never seemed to have any airs and graces about him. Sleep well Denis.A true legend. Always came across as a thoroughly decent fella. RIP.
Didn't he go playing golf when England took on West Germany in 1966?My favourite Law story. England v Scotland; Law really clatters Charlton; from his position on the ground Charlton asks “What on earth are you doing, Denis?”. Law replies: “You are nae playing for United now, Bobby.” A great player.
RIP Denis Law.

Merged the other thread in here, as he deserves to be in the City forum.

The original King…RIP Lawman
RIP, a real Manchester football legend. The highest goal scorer for Manchester clubs. Revered by fans of both clubs a gentleman and a footballing great. I never saw his first debut, but I was there for his second… though I got arrested and locked up.

I meant this week and I always class Monday as the start of the week but you're right, 3 greats within the last 7 days.

The only player to score 6 goals and end up on the losing side?
Yes; I know. The original Luton game was abandoned, so the six goals officially don't exist.
