Denis Law And Sir Alex Speak At The Statue Unveiling

Denis Law, one of Manchester United and Scotland’s greatest-ever players, returned to his hometown alongside fellow great Sir Alex Ferguson and Lord Provost Barney Crockett for the unveiling this morning.
Scotland’s only winner of the Ballon d’Or, football’s top individual accolade, the sporting legend looked happy and relaxed as he joked with onlookers.
Speaking to a crowd of invited guests at the private ceremony, Mr Law - who was previously awarded the Freedom of Aberdeen - declared the city “means everything” to him.

Simply a magnificent player . And for me the greatest Scottish footballer of all time . It was a privilege to see Denis play . Law , Best & Charlton what more could you ask for . One of the Greatest era,s of British football of all time .

[@johnwilson3842]

The Real King.

[@underock4]

He's my uncle and as well as being an unbelievable player, he's a wonderful person...great sense of humour and so humble. After the '74 World Cup, we spent our summer holiday in Aberdeen...I was 13 and in awe of him. I asked him who was the best player he played with, fully expecting him to say, Best or Charlton. To my surprise he said Johnny Fitzpatrick, who came from Fittie, Aberdeen, who my Dad had told me about, when he was growing up.

[@airzulu2733]

Your a lucky person Kevin. Denis to me was everything that was great about football. When I was a kid in the early 60,s I worshipped him as a player and always will . He seems a humble man in my eyes, a lovely man . Be rest assured their will never ever be a player like Denis Law again . He fully deserves the love and respect from those who know him and seen him play. Thankyou Denis for everything you have done for the game , the fans and united.

@@airzulu2733 Thanks so much for your kind words. My Dad is still a huge Utd fan...growing up in London, I follow the mighty Spurs !

[@starofdavid9919]

Celtic fan, Your uncle was some man, what a player, my Idol was Jimmy Johnstone who Matt Busby wanted to sign for Utd, what an attack that would have been eh, Big Jim Baxter too, all total entertainers with the Gallusness only the Scots have, nothing comes close to these guys today.

Best manager all of time

[@shriibrahim4424]

Imam Sujarot...... FOR ME HIS GREATEST STRENGTH WAS HIS HUMANITY. DESPITE ALL OF HIS COMBATIVE CHARACTERS.........HE WAS ALWAYS A GRACIOUS HOST AND HUMAN BEING. I LOVED IT THAT WHEN ANY MANAGER/Player IS SACKED/IN TROUBLE....... HE WILL ALWAYS BE THE FIRST TO BE ON THE PHONE WITH ENCOURAGING WORDS. TOP HUMAN BEING......

[@johnmcdaid2537]

One Word "Wonderful"

[@stormhawk3319]

Two Scottish United legends, one a player, the other a manager.

We have some fantastic legends at Utd, all part of our wonderful history makes me very proud.

[@djangorheinhardt]

As a born and bred Mancunian ?

[@robbiethepict2783]

The Lawman statue should be at Union Terrace next to Wallace and Burns. He never let Scotland down.

[@beatlebrian4404]

Manchester United, have been very fortunate over the years, in having some of the best players in the world and Dennis was one of them

[@beatlebrian4404]

What fantastic memories I have of Dennis, standing in the Stretford end, singing " I walk a million miles for one of your goals my Dennis" DENNIS LAW THE KING

[@davidburns6681]

Me too

[@JB-Thatisme]

More than deserving. The king now has 3 statues..one in the Stretford end..part of the holy trinity..and now one in Aberdeen. He's certainly a Scotsman..and he's a honorary Mancunian to us in Manchester 💯🇾🇪🇾🇪🇾🇪

[@johnmcdaid2537]

Being a MILLWALL Supporter, I started following UTD when Paddy Crarand Joined Utd as he was my sisters boyfriend.....it was then I saw Law, Best, Charlton......Dreams of Millwall one day.....Still waiting. GOD BLESS YOU DENNIS LAW & THANK YOU. ...

[@thomasjones2415]

There Is Naw Place Like Home, Eh Dennis,

[@thomasjones2415]

Dennis Law Beating England The World Champions At Wembley,

[@friedrichnietzsche7736]

They should have made a statue of him backheeling Man Utd into the second tier. Definitely his finest ever moment.

[@thomasandersen6719]

You do know that is a myth, right? they were relegated regardles of the result...go look it up on something new called the internet

[@anthonyfoster5307]

But not in his opinion.

[@KevinSmith-wp9qs]

I would make Dalglish the greatest with Law a close second.

[@raydoherty1196]

Thought Kenny was a great player. The difference between the two was Denis way outstanding for his country as well. I don't think Kenny ever played as well for Scotland as he did for Liverpool.
