RIP Denis Law

[Vienna_70]

More very sad news.

The reports coming in from the swamp on that glorious day in April 1974 will be forever etched in my memory. Ironically, Skip's first game in charge of City.

And Denis was central to the story.

He was one of the greatest goal scorers of all time. A true legend of British, English and Manchester football.

RIP Denis. Went to an evening he spoke at once. Hugely likeable fella and very humorous.

When asked if any European player might be good enough for inclusion in his squad, Brazil 1970 (arguably the greatest team ever), coach Joao Saldanha took a moment or two before saying 'Only Denis Law..'

Enough said..

What we have once enjoyed we can never lose. Dennis and Tony brought me so much pleasure as a young fan and I will never forget them.

Bad enough for us, but Mike Sumerbee is losing a lot of close friends recently.
V sad.
RIP.

Buzzer is the only one left from the Triumphant famous three's of Bell,Lee and Sumerbee and Best, Charton and Law. Was at a funeral Wednesday and the Celebrant said "we're in a line for the day we depart, nothing you can do about it" Live everyday, so true.
